Windows 10: iCloud panel will not load on my windows 11 laptop

Something is blocking my icloud panel in my new laptop running Windows 11. My old pc was running win11 and I had no problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled icloud over a dozen times. It goes through the installation, prompts to open, then "circles for a few seconds and just dies. It shows running in the task manager, but nothing I do will open the panel so I can sign on and select my calendars and contacts. Any ideas?

iCloud for Windows problem

In the settings panel for iCloud for Windows there is a section called Bookmarks.
It defaults to Internet Explorer (which is so old that it only appears in history books).
There is an option to select Firefox instead but when I do (& click 'Apply') it tells me that the
iCloud Bookmarks extension for Firefox is required.
I am already aware of this & have installed this Firefox iCloud Bookmarks extension previously.
Unfortunately, iCloud for Windows fails to recognise this & therefor It's not possible to set it up.
Any suggestions?

 

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.
