Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes.
Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

Are you running any VPN, Anti-Virus, or Cleaning apps?
Is your clock within 30 seconds of correct time?
I tried signing into my iCloud account with the Apple ID and this is the error I got.
it says everything is working fine but it still doesn't tell me why it isn't working.
you cant sign in at this time try signing in again
