Windows 10: Outlook and iCloud freeze on start up on Windows 11

Both Outlook 365 and iCloud for Windows are freezing and failing to connect to their servers once i start up both my laptop and desktop. Outlook finally stops being frozen and connects after about 5 minutes but iCloud just fails out and doesn't connect. If I stop both of them from starting on startup and wait for about 5 minutes and launch them, they work perfectly and connect straight away.This seems to be from a recent Windows 11 update as it has only started happening in the last 3 weeks.

Outlook Setup for iCloud could not be started


"Outlook Setup for iCloud could not be started because of an unexpected error."





How to solve this without knowing what error is causing this?

I have tried reinstalling Office and iCloud (run as administrator) but no luck. Is Windows 10 compabtible for iCloud? Apple says no and Microsoft says yes.......

How could i fix this problem?

It did worked before, but it slowed down my computer so much that i decided to reinstall the Office package. Everything worked ok after the reinstall and Office programs are running ok. Only I can't get iCloud to sync with Outlook anymore.

Thanks for the help.

 

Connect iCloud to Outlook

Thank you Pedro. I did the steps but it didn't work. I did not have iCloud in the list, only Outlook. I clicked on the default button on the data page but no luck.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I appreciate your interest in Windows 10.We sincerely regret for the inconvenience caused.

• How are you accessing Outlook through web browser or email client?

I suggest you to uninstall and re-install the iCloud app and check if the issue persists.

To reinstalling the icloud app I suggest you to contact apple forum and check if it helps.
