my icloud verifications fails on my PC and I don't know why?

I am updating my icloud. I am at the verification step and it says "verification failed" after I've added the apple ID verification code. I don't know why? What to do?

Windows, Windows 6

Wondering if the Windows version you are using on your PC needs updating to be compatible with iCloud.


Eg: Apple support's article: System requirements for iCloud - Apple Support

says:

"iCloud requires an Apple ID, an active internet connection, and up to date software."

(if needed: Learn how iCloud operates in China mainland)


Recommeded:

PC

  • Microsoft Windows 11 or later*
  • iCloud for Windows 15
  • Outlook 2019 or later
  • Firefox 92 or later, Google Chrome 100 or later (desktop mode only), or Microsoft Edge 100 or later


* 64-bit Windows (May 2019 Update or later) is required to install iCloud for Windows.
