Unable to connect to iCloud from Windows 10 PC using Edge browser, Version 116.0.1938.62 (Official build) (64-bit). I used to be able to.

Unable to connect to iCloud from Windows 10 PC using Edge browser, Version 116.0.1938.62 (Official build) (64-bit). I used to be able to connect, just last week. Is anyone else have this problem?

Could Edge be doing something innappropriate and blocking the connection? I think it recently updated itself...

Greetings Aliasdesired,


The following steps may be able to assist you with being able to access iCloud for Windows, as expected:


"How to tell if your security software might be causing an issue

Security software created by companies other than Apple can prevent iCloud for Windows or iTunes from connecting to Apple servers or to devices. Sometimes, you might see a numeric error message when you sync, update, back up, or restore your device.


If your security software is causing an issue with iCloud for Windows

  • You can't sign in with your Apple ID.
  • You see "Verification Failed: An unknown error occurred" or "An error occurred during authentication. Please try again." 
  • You see "Your setup couldn't start because your username or password is incorrect" or "Your setup couldn't be started because the iCloud server stopped responding."
  • iCloud services won't update. 


If your security software is causing an issue with iTunes

  • Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch aren't recognized in iTunes, or they won't back up, restore, update, sync, or activate.
  • You see iTunes Errors 4, 6, 1630–1641, 3000–3999, or 9000–9999*.
  • You can’t connect to iTunes Store to buy or download content.
  • iTunes won’t open.


Things to check first

Before you change your security software's setup: 


Test your connectivity

  1. Check your hosts file to make sure that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with Apple's servers.
  2. If you’re having issues using AirPlay, Home Sharing, iTunes, or Remote, test the connectivity between the computers or devices in your house. They should be connected to the same network and subnet in order to function properly.


Test your security software

If you still have trouble after you test your connectivity, your security software could be interfering with your computer's connection with iCloud for Windows or iTunes.

In some cases, it might be necessary to temporarily remove your security software to isolate an issue. Some Internet security apps don’t uninstall completely, so you might need to download and run a cleanup utility for your security software for it to be completely removed.

Work with your security software provider to allow the complete list of ports and services that Apple products use or if you need help with uninstalling their software."
