icloud for Windows on Windows 11 machine will not run

Persistence pays off.

I downloaded the older Win 7/8 version of iCloud from Apple.

This installed and worked. At least I could login although it was not syncing but I did not spend a lot of time with it.

Then I went to the MS Store and downloaded and installed the latest iCloud for Windows and let it uninstall the old and install itself on top.

It works. It synced immediately and all appears well.

More testing by Apple is required.

Hello,

"you've been unable to install iCloud for Windows but you're able to access the website without issue."

YES, you understand correctly

System

Windows 11 Pro latest update today

Firefox 97.0 (64 bit)

iTunes 12.12.2.2

As for the link, I have been through that. As you can see from what I posted from the Event Viewer, there is a problem that does not display itself in the UI. All I see, and there is another unresolved thread from late 2021 that has the same issue, is the iCloud banner/login page come up and then disappear in a few seconds.

Thank you

here is some more from the Windows Event Viewer in timestamp order

I did contact Apple Support last week and opened a case after 90 minutes on the phone with two people, sent them some screen shots with the same information as above and their response was, shall we say, not very useful.

Apple Support closed the case with no resolution. That is why I tried to find some help here.

Thank you.
