Can't sign into iCloud after Window Bios update Signing into iCloud error Windows 11 After updating the BIOS on my Dell XPS running Windows 11 Professional, I could not sign in to iCloud. Error message: "Verification Failed. To finish signing in to iCloud for Windows, you need a verification Code. Sign in to an Apple Device running IOS 16.2 or later... " An Apple tech remoted into my computer and tried several things before suggesting that I contact Microsoft. I contacted Microsoft and a tech remoted into my computer and tried several things before suggesting that I contact Apple. Both the Apple and Microsoft techs ruled out firewall and antivirus interference. I have uninstalled/reinstalled iCloud (numerous times), uninstalled/reinstalled Microsoft 365 (numerous times), and reinstalled Windows, and tried resetting and reinstalling iCloud from within the Windows 11 control panel. The problem started when I updated BIOS on the desktop. Of course, iCloud works fine from my Apple platforms. This is frustrating. Helpful suggestions appreciated.

icloud windows 10 verification error Have iCloud on my iPad and Win 10 PC. All was working well until today. Changed password for iCloud on iPad. Win 10 PC asks me to login again. I put in the password, it is accepted. Two-factor authentication sends a code to my iPad, which I then enter on the PC. PC says "an unknown error occurred". Tried uninstalling/reinstalling, restarting, etc, no luck. Thoughts?

What's the error message you're getting specifically when using iCloud for PC after attempting to sign in?

If you were to reinstall iCloud for Windows, does the error come back up?
