icloud drive for windows 11 setup Icloud for windows 11 version 14.0

This message is difficult to understand:

"You can only change this setting when cloud drive is disabled."

Disabled does that mean I need to sign out of icloud?

This seems like I'd would loose access to the setting option.

Anyone upgrade and attempt to change location of Icloud storage?

I want step-by-step instructions on how to disable iCloud Drive without losing any of my files on my iMac I want to disable iCloud drive. I started trying to do it a couple of days ago and I terminated the process because it seemed like I was going to lose some information somewhere. Lately I have been getting odd information from my iCloud Drive such as music is downloading to my music app that I do not have saved in iCloud Drive and I am not an Apple Music subscriber. The bottom line is whether or not I go ahead and disable iCloud Drive I would like to know how to do it step-by-step all the way to the end without endangering any of my files.

Windows 11 iCloud Settings doesn't save enabled state for iCloud Drive A few weeks ago, iCloudDrive stopped synching on my Windows 11 system. At the time, the checkbox in the iCloud Settings app was checked, and all the new files I added to my iCloudDrive showed "Waiting to Sync" status. I did some debugging, and tried ALL OF the following: 1) Reboot system 2) Disable iCloud Drive (uncheck checkbox) and re-enable iCloud Drive 3) Disable iCloud Drive, reboot, re-enable iCloud Drive 4) Sign out of iCloud, then sign back in, then attempt to re-enable iCloud Drive (which failed) 5) Sign out of iCloud, reboot, then sign back in, then attempt to re-enable iCloud Drive (which failed) 6) Uninstall iCloud, reboot, reinstall iCloud, attempt to enable iCloud Drive (which failed) 7) Uninstall iCloud, delete entire AppleInc.iCloud... folder under "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps" folder (which took a LOT of effort, including changing ownership and adding permissions!), reinstall iCloud, attempt to enable iCloud Drive (which failed) After the sign out/sign in attempt (try #4), when I would open the iCloud Settings app and try to enable iCloud Drive (check the checkbox, click apply), the iCloud Settings app would simply uncheck the iCloud Drive checkbox. Repeating this sequence (check the checkbox, click apply) gave the same results. Repeating things like signing out, rebooting and signing back in, or uninstalling iCloud and reinstalling and signing in did not fix the problem. Nothing I do will allow me to enable iCloud Drive. I've tried creating an empty iCloudDrive folder in a different location and using the Options button for iCloud Drive in the iCloud Settings App to point to the new location, and that did not change the behavior. Rebooting doesn't change the behavior. Signing out and signing back in doesn't change the behavior. What is happening, and why can't I enable iCloud Drive on this PC? It's running AVG Internet Security. I have not tried disabling that, because I don't like to leave my workstation vulnerable.

Do I need iCloud and if not how do I turn it off? New to Sequoia...dealing with all kinds of issues that I have no idea about...things popping up. I have no idea what this means or even how to do anything about it. What I do know is I have no interest in being on a cloud, and if I can turn it off will it affect anything important. If I don't really need iCloud how do I disable it? I do believe when I was installing Sequoia it asked me if I wanted the iCloud, and I hit okay, but I really didn't know what I was doing. PS - I'm having all kinds of password issues now that I installed Sequoia and all the advice I've gotten so far is over my head, and I'm afraid of messing things up.
