The iCloud app on Windows 11 laptop is no longer synchronizing photos from the cloud The iCloud App on my Windows 11 laptop is no longer synchronizing photos from the cloud. Worse, it has locked all the photos on my laptop in a "synch pending" state so I cannot access them. The app is still synchronizing the "iCloud drive" but not the "iCloud photos". I believe this problem started with the August 2 2025 update of the iCloud App. My photos appear to be intact in the "iCloud" when I use the web browser to access iCloud.com, but the copies on my laptop hard drive have updates that I do not want to loose. Help needed to unlock the photo files on my hard drive and get synchronization running again. [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: Icloud photo synch to Windows 11 PC

iCloud deleted Windows Pictures folder Hello, I have been using Windows store iCloud program, but when trying to sync my photos from my iPhone, it said it couldn't backup them into the associated path, asking me to restart the program. Which I did, but same message, so I've tried to move the path of iCloud/Photos to Users/Pictures, unticking the sync with iCloud photos to tick it back just after. But then, iCloud seemed to have reset its folder, and with it all of my Users/Pictures folder. Couldn't be worst, there was some professional, personal, memories of time in my family former country, you know all this sweet stuff stored in what I thought a safe place before a dodgy program would mess it all. I'd like to know if any of you have experienced it, and if so, any help would be welcome! Cheers, Florian/Darius
