Q: iCloud control Panel keeps popping up at login

Hello, every time I log into windows the icloud control panel is popping up.  how do I disable it to just run in the background(minimized) and stay in the taskbar and not bother me every time I log in.  This never used to happen until the last update... thanks!

Windows 10

    The iCloud control panel also pops open for me on Windows 7 but not just when I login; I close the window, but it eventually comes back.  Annoying.

    Yes, apparently this behavior changed with the last update.  I saw it on Windows 7, and now after updating to Windows 10.  I just want it to start quietly in the system tray - there's no need to see the iCloud settings dialog at each system start-up.

    My windows is 10 with all latest updated.
    I've this problem since 3-4 days ago, so annoying me.

     

    And here is my solution.
    1. Un-install the existing iCloud for windows. and reboot the machine.
    2. Temporary disable Antivirus.
    3. Open iCloud setup with Administrator Privilege (Right-Click the iCloudsetup.exe and select "Run as Administrator").
    4. Install iCloud as usual, then reboot the machine once again. The iCloud will popup to ask about the logs report, just select any option as you wish.
    5. Reboot once again and the problem gone.
