iCloud sign-in on Windows not working
I installed iCloud on my Windows 11 (22H2) desktop last week to make it easier to access my photos taken with my iPhone 15. I signed into iCloud successfully and my photos synced. This morning, I was greeted with a sign-in window for iCloud. I entered my account password and I received the authorization request to my phone. I entered the 6-digit code from my phone but I get the following message:
My desktop is connected via wired Ethernet connection to our corporate network and my iPhone is connected to our corporate wi-fi access point. This message did not appear last week when I installed iCloud, everything was fine last week, I signed in, my photos synced and there was no sign of any issues. My desktop has bluetooth, but I do not use it to connect my iPhone (it has never been connected via bluetooth).
Since the iCloud Windows app rejects my sign-in for an unknown reason, I cannot get rid of the sign-in window. I close it, but it comes back after a few seconds. This is extremely annoying behavior. And you cannot close the iCloud app from the Windows taskbar.
I have gone through the sign-in and approval steps on my phone using the 6-digit code multiple times but it still doesn't work.
