Windows 10: iCloud for Windows - strange error message

I today installed Office 2021 with Outlook 2021. After, I installed iCloud for windows from Microsoft Store. After installing, I logged on with iCloud and after selecting what to synchronize, I get this strage error message: don't worry the screenshot shows german language - the error text is nil. Any idea on how to progress? I installed/uninstalled both outlook and iCloud several times, with no success. Thanks in advance for your input. Thomas Rapold, Zurich Switzerland

Windows and Icloud Mail etc: Failing to initialise

Hi
TomParkinson2,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Could you please help me with the below questions:

1. Are you aware of making any changes to the computer prior to the issue?
   
2. Do you receive any error message when the spinner stops?
   

I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:

Method 1: Uninstall iCloud application.


I would suggest you to Sign out from the iCloud account from the app, then uninstall the application.

1. Press Windows
   and R key together on your Keyboard.
   
2. Type appwiz.cpl and hit enter.
   
3. Select the iCloud application and click on Uninstall.
   

Method 2: Reinstall iCloud application.


Step 1:

I would suggest you to ‘Download
the latest version of iCloud’
from the apple website. Follow the Onscreen instructions and install the application. For more information, check the article on
Set up and use iCloud for Windows.


Step 2:

Once the installation is completed, tap on the Windows key on your keyboard, search for ICloud app. Right click on the app and click on
Pin to taskbar.

If you are using Surface PC, I would suggest you to follow steps mentioned in the Microsoft article about
Using Surface with iPhone, iCloud,
and iTunes.

Hope it helps.

Let us know if you got the help you needed by clicking ‘Yes’ or ‘No’.

Strange 2.9.0 error message

When launching 2.9.0 strange error message appears:



But program seems to work.

And also "DirectCompute" status differs from 2.8.0. (2.8.0 launches normally without any messages.)
