How do I setup iCloud with Windows 10?
It looks like iCloud and Windows 10 are having a resource battle on my PC. I have an HP Pavilion g6 laptop, intel core i3 processor-2350 @2.3GHz, 4 GB RAM, 64 bit operating system using the newly released Windows 10 Home. iCloud is version 4.1.
On startup, everything boots up normally until iCloud loads up. Once iCloud loads up, the screen taskbar flashes in and out like when it loads up the first time, only it repeats the process to no end, until I open task manager and force the program to close by ending the task. This has happened every time so far. I turned off the abilities for both OneDrive and Google Drive to run on Startup, but that seems to have done nothing to prevent my PC's screen to constantly reload once iCloud begins to run.
The only item in iCloud that I synchronize with my PC is the Photo Stream, so I believe the problem has to do with Windows 10 and iCloud both vying to take control over my pictures. It looks like iCloud has lost the ability to access any of the folders on my computer because I'm receiving the message: "Photo Stream cannot be updated because you do not have permission to add files to the download folder" upon startup, which is nonsense because I'm the administrator and there are no other accounts. Also, when trying to choose a download folder through iCloud, by selecting options..., and attempting to change iCloud Photos Location in Photos Options, none of the folders can be selected or chosen "for iCloud Photos" - "OK" remains greyed out and cannot be clicked on for any of the folders in my pictures collection and I'm not about to Make any random New Folder.
