    Can't setup iCloud account in the People app

    I am trying to add my iCloud account to the People app in Windows 10 (Fall Creator's Edition).

    My steps:

    1. I start the People app and click Add Accounts.
    2. I select iCloud from the list. For email address, I enter my login email address for iCloud. For Send your messages..., I enter my name. And then the iCloud password. And then click Sign in.
    3. It says Your account was setup successfully, but then when I dismiss the dialog, it says

      .

    What am I missing? Why does it not connect?

    Are you signed in to all with the same Microsoft account to have them sync?
