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?

 

iCloud for Windows shows two signed in devices

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that there two devices showing up in signed in devices for iCloud. It could be that you might have signed in with your iCloud account on another device running older version of Windows.



We can remove the device from the iCloud account. Please follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Sign in to https://www.icloud.com
   with your iCloud account.
   
2. Navigate to Find iPhone on your iCloud account.
   
3. Then click on All devices on the top.
   
4. Click on the device that you want to remove and click on
   Erase to remove the device.
   

For additional information, you can refer the article provided by Apple
iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone.



You might have enabled two-step verification for the account that’s why you might have to sign in twice. You can try disabling two-step verification and see if that helps. For more information on two-factor authentication, please refer the articles
provided by Apple
Two-factor authentication for Apple ID and

Switch from two-step verification to two-factor authentication.




Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.

Printer isn´t working after latest update.

After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.
