    Hello Divamuzz,

     

    On your windows computer open Run ( Windows key+R key) and in the Run type msconfig and press Enter.

    Click on Startup Tab and look for iCloud Control Panel written there and Uncheck the box next to it and click Apply and close that box and if asked to Restart then Restart your computer and if not asked then Restart your computer manually and see if you get iCloud Control Panel Launching on startup.

    This worked but only for a bit. iCloud is now back on again!

    I have the same problem and result, worked for one restart.  Very annoying.  I suspect each time iCloud updates (very frequent) it is re installing or re-establishing registry keys.  I gave up.  I was able to get every other start item to stay off until I started (manually via batch), including Google Drive, Dropbox, Mozy, Team Viewer, Greenshot, Phrase Express, but not iCloud.

    Same experience for me.   I'm going to have to uninstall iCloud software.

    Yes! Can we please push??? I'm about to uninstall as well. I have had my system config set to NOT start this up when I boot up but now it does it anyway. Even when I stop the service it's still somehow running.

    I came here today to find a solution for this problem too, but seems like you guys still weren't be able to fix the problem. I think I found the solution myself and I will share it over here. Hope you are be able to use it too.

     

    1. Run services.msc ("Windows key" + "R key")

    2. Search the huge list for "Apple Mobile Device Service"

    3. Double click it so the properties of that service open up

    4. Change "Startup type" from "Automatic" to "Manual" and click OK

    5. After restarting the computer several times I was confinced iCloud didn't startup automatically anymore

     

    Hope I can help you with this (even after 2,5 years) and the solution fixes the problem for you too.

     

    (The solution takes away the option to automatically start iTunes when you connect an iOS device to the computer. You need to start iTunes and give iTunes the permission to restart the service. After that still no sign of iCloud starting up.)

    Having encountered the same problem and not being able to use Peters1997's solution, I've ended up uninstalling iCloud as well.

     

    When I turn something off I expect it to stay that way. And yes, I could manually end the process but the point is I shouldn't have to. I'm generally glad to have come back into the Apple fold but sometimes the 'we know better than you do what you actually want' attitude gets my goat and I vote with my feet.

     

    Guess I didn't really want to use iCloud on my PC device after all.
