Connecting to Icloud id server

Installed icloud for windows 10 64 bit, installed media player, installed from Microsoft and directly from Apple . nothing allows connection to ID Server to finalize installation.

Hello MBleRoux,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand the importance of being able to set up, and use iCloud for windows on your pC, and we'd be happy to provide some guidance.

Do you have any security software installed on your PC? If you have any third-party antivirus or firewalls you’ll want to reach out to them directly for steps to pause, disable, or uninstall the software as it might be the cause of being unable to connect to the iCloud server.
