    Windows 10 October update temporarily blocked on PCs with incompatible iCloud


    Microsoft is promising to be more transparent about issues in Windows 10 and the company is updating its support document whenever a new issue in Windows 10 October 2018 Update is discovered.

    Microsoft recently blocked the Windows 10 October 2018 Update on old AMD PCs and it turns out that the Redmond giant is also blocking the feature update on devices with incompatible iCloud software installed.

    In an updated support document, Microsoft says that Apple has identified incompatibility issues with iCloud for Windows (version 7.7.0.27). In Windows 10 October 2018 Update, the iCloud users may experience unexpected issues while syncing Shared Albums.

    To ensure that experience is as smooth as possible, the company has blocked the Windows 10 October 2018 Update on devices that have the incompatible version of iCloud installed.

    “To ensure a seamless experience, Microsoft is blocking devices with iCloud for Windows (version 7.7.0.27) software installed from being offered Window 10, version 1809 until this issue has been resolved,” Microsoft explains.

    The company is asking users to wait until the update is offered automatically and you should not manually update your device if the aforementioned software is installed.

    Both Microsoft and Apple are aware of the issue and they are working on a fix which will be released soon. After the issue is addressed, the Windows 10 version 1809 will be offered once again on affected devices.

    If you’re already on Windows 10 October 2018 Update, you won’t be able to install iCloud version 7.7.0.27. A message “this version of iCloud for Windows isn’t supported” would show up and the installation will fail.

    Right direction


    It’s another evidence that confirms Microsoft is serious about the user experience on Windows 10. It is undoubtedly a big step in the right direction and Microsoft will continue to be more transparent about the issues in the Windows 10 updates.

    iCloud for Windows will not work with Windows 10 (October 2018 update)

    Try this solution that worked in my case (Windows 10 Pro 64-bit v1809)

    1. Open Registry Editor: Win+R | regedit
    2. Navigate to the registry path: HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
    3. Temporarily modify these 3 registry keys:
      • CurrentBuild set value to 17134 (instead of 17763)
      • CurrentBuildNumber set value to 17134 (instead of 17763)
      • ReleaseId set value to 1803 (instead of 1809)
    4. Install iCloud: iCloudSetup.exe | when finished, do not restart yet
    5. Restore initial values of the 3 keys (step 3)
    6. Restart PC and complete setup of iCloud
    For Windows 10 in 32-bit version, the path is: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

  3. iCloud for Windows will not work with Windows 10 (October 2018 update)

    Thanks, evandernz.

    Close, but still a problem.

    Making those three changes allowed iCloud to install, but right at the end, Windows reported that the Windows Installer had an unexpected error. So the iCloud installation rolled back. I tried to stop the installer from rolling back, but cannot.

    Microsoft blocks Windows 10 April Update for Intel SSD 600p Series

    Microsoft is blocking some Intel SSDs from installing the April 2018 Update after discovering an incompatibility issue that causes performance and stability issues. In short, the problem was explained by Microsoft as: “When attempting to upgrade to Window 10 April 2018 Update select devices with certain Intel SSDs may enter a UEFI screen reboot or crash repeatedly.” Microsoft says that this issue has no workaround and that those that have attempted to update Windows 10 to the Windows 10 April 2018 Update should revert back to Windows 10 Fall Creators Update version 1709.

    Unfortunately, the announcement by Microsoft fails to list what specific Intel SSD models are having issues with the OS update. We contacted Intel and discovered that the Intel SSD 600p Series of client drives that was first introduced to the market in 2016 is the most popular drive that is having issues.
