Endless iCloud login loop on Windows 11


I have been using iCloud on my Windows 11 laptop for 6 months with no issues at all. Suddenly yesterday after a system reboot I was prompted for my login details. I entered my iCloud id and password. Prompt duly appeared on my iPhone, I click 'Allow' and enter the security code on my PC. The Apple wait spinning circles appears for a while, then the iCloud window vanishes. So I then start the program again manually and I am right back where I started, with the request to log in. It's driving me nuts now.

I've read that users uninstalled the app and it helped. If I do so will I lose all the photos that are currently part of my iCloud? I'm hesitating to uninstall for fear of losing them. Thanks,

Windows, Windows 10 (19045)

Wish you got some replies to this. I have a brand new Dell PC and same issue, my old Dell icloud app works perfectly on my Win11 machine.....not sure who to blame, Windows or Apple but this is so stupid. I cannot believe more people are not having this issue.
