iCloud in PC will not get my calendar

Seems every two or three years my profile on my PC on iCloud stops working on the calendar. I have tried my PC and my Laptop and both will not fix this. Apple support goes telling me about my PC but the PC is a Cyberpower and the Laptop is a Lenovo. BOTH WILL NOT THE CALENDAR. Photos, iCloud Drive, and Notes were fine in iCloud. Next, the calendar goes run and around and will not boot out.

Hey Hogold11.


If you're running into trouble with either iCloud Mail, Contacts, or Calendars when using iCloud for Windows, here's a selection of steps that may help:


"Things to check first


  1. Check that your PC meets the iCloud system requirements and is connected to the internet.
  2. Download iCloud for Windows and sign in with your Apple ID. If you have multiple Apple IDs that you use with iCloud, check that you're logged in to iCloud for Windows with the same account that you use on your other devices. 
  3. Check the System Status page for any known issues affecting iCloud Mail, Contacts, or Calendars.
  4. Make sure that the date and time settings on your PC are correct.
  5. Make copies of the information you store in iCloud.

If the issue remains after trying all of that, a section lower down in If you can’t add iCloud Mail, Contacts, or Calendars to Outlook shows a few more steps specific to iCloud Contacts and Calendars:


"If you need help using your iCloud Contacts and Calendars with iCloud for Windows, try these steps. 

Turn iCloud Contacts and Calendars off and back on

  1. Close Outlook.
  2. Open iCloud for Windows.
  3. Deselect the Contacts and Calendars checkbox and select Apply.
  4. Wait a few seconds. Select Contacts and Calendars and select Apply.
