【As of 2024.12.17】 iCloud for Windows Not Functioning Software: iCloud for Windows App Version: 15.3.138 App Downloaded From: Microsoft Store Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro (Version 24H2) (OS Build 26100.2605) Issue Overview Date Issue Started: 2024/12/17 (observed) Symptoms: iCloud for Windows is stuck on "Signing in" animation during startup. Synchronization between iCloud for Windows and other Apple devices has ceased to function. No new files originating from the Windows PC are seen on Apple devices, and no files from Apple devices are downloaded to the Windows PC. However, synchronization between all other Apple devices remains intact. Details of Issues: iCloud for Windows Stuck on Signing In: During startup, the app remains on "Signing in" animation endlessly. No network traffic indicates login transactions. Synchronization Failures Across Services: iCloud Photos: Stuck on "Updating." No network activity indicates synchronization is occurring. iCloud Drive: Stuck on "Initializing." No network activity is observed. iCloud Passwords and Keychain: Authentication succeeds, but passwords never propagate. Previously, propagation took about 8 seconds. Bookmarks: Not actively used, but testing reveals no synchronization activity. Calendars and Contacts: Prompt indicating incorrect credentials despite correct multi-factor-authenticated credentials. iCloud Usage Statistics: Fails to display or update usage statistics. No network activity observed. Steps Taken to Resolve: Terminate and Reopen the App: Terminated the app via Windows Settings ➔ Apps ➔ Installed Apps. Reopened the app, but the "Signing in" animation persisted with no network traffic. Repair the App: Repaired iCloud for Windows via Windows Settings ➔ Apps ➔ Installed Apps. The issue remained unchanged. Reset the App: Reset app data via Windows Settings ➔ Apps ➔ Installed Apps. Re-signed into iCloud using correct credentials. iCloud Photos: Stuck on "Updating." No network activity. iCloud Drive: Stuck on "Initializing." No network activity. iCloud Passwords: Download message shown, but passwords do not appear. Bookmarks: No synchronization observed. Calendars and Contacts: "Incorrect credentials" prompt displayed despite correct authentication. Other Remarks: As a paying Apple One Premier/iCloud+ subscriber using Apple and Windows devices, I expect seamless functionality across supported platforms. While I recognize Apple’s focus is on its ecosystem, I believe services marketed as "officially supported" on Windows should operate reliably. This issue diminishes the cross-platform experience promised by Apple’s ecosystem and requires immediate attention to uphold service integrity. I appreciate your efforts in addressing this and look forward to a resolution soon.
