i'm continually being told that my iCloud and me email addresses need fixing, but entering the addresses and the Apple password as authentication doesn't work.

why am I told repeatedly on Windows 10 that my iCloud and me email addresses need fixing, but nothing i enter will fix them?

Windows, Windows 6

This may be your problem, an updating setting problem. Apple is aware of the problem, but there is no definitive solution yet. I also have to warn you that I am not sure how the problem I am talking about translates into your Windows problem.

 

Note that some have solved the problem by signing out of iCloud, restarting their devices, and signing back in

You need to enable 2 Factor Authentication on your Apple ID and create an app specific password to use. If your account won’t allow 2 Factor Authentication, try 2 step verification.
