multiple instances of icloud photos in windows explorer

Hello there,

I think i have the same question and it does not have to do anything with duplicate photo's.

There are duplicate instances of icloud photos in the explorer.

will try to include a picture for clarification.

kind regards

Hi - yes the fix suggested in that post works - but then the duplicate folder links start reappearing again whenever you open iCloud options.

This is only started with iCloud for Windows version 11.

I also am am unable to actually sync photos anymore. I wonder if the two things are related?

Can this be investigated please?

I have the same issus

Same here - it's very annoying. You get another instance added every time you boot the system!
