Windows 10 does not like the iCloud drive app.

My Dell desktop often will not shut down or goes to a blue screen indicating that it is "collecting data" before finally shutting down and restarting. If I run the Dell Support Assistant program, it will do okay for awhile before it happens again. I'm pretty sure it is the iCloud app. Anyone else have the problem? Has anyone found a work around? Thank you.

However, synchronization between all other Apple devices remains intact. Details of Issues: iCloud for Windows Stuck on Signing In: During startup, the app remains on "Signing in" animation endlessly. No network traffic indicates login transactions. Synchronization Failures Across Services: iCloud Photos: Stuck on "Updating." No network activity indicates synchronization is occurring. iCloud Drive: Stuck on "Initializing." No network activity is observed. iCloud Passwords and Keychain: Authentication succeeds, but passwords never propagate. Previously, propagation took about 8 seconds.

Other Remarks: As a paying Apple One Premier/iCloud+ subscriber using Apple and Windows devices, I expect seamless functionality across supported platforms. While I recognize Apple’s focus is on its ecosystem, I believe services marketed as "officially supported" on Windows should operate reliably. This issue diminishes the cross-platform experience promised by Apple’s ecosystem and requires immediate attention to uphold service integrity. I appreciate your efforts in addressing this and look forward to a resolution soon.

Can't close iCloud Drive Finder Window The Red X icon doesn't close it, the yellow minimize icon works as does the green full screen icon. Close Window under Finder:File does not close the window, but it will close other finder windows. Rebooting did not change anything.

My iCloud drive has been stuck on uploading For the last two weeks I've been trying to make iCloud Drive not be stuck uploading. I have been to so many of these threads. So I thought now that I found a solution that I would share it. I'm on Windows and for some reason the Software kept getting stuck on upload. The way I fixed is by right-clicking the iCloud Drive in my file explorer and turning on the option "Always keep on this device" Now if you have a huge drive this might not be the option for you, since you'll have everything on your computer, but it did make my iCloud Drive not stuck uploading Took a few screenshot of the magic happening: Just to name a few things I've tried without success: Installing the latest version of iCloud Changing around firewall settings Force closing iCloud Drive by using the task manager (making iCloud Drive recount everything and start all over) Restarting my computer (multiple times)
