There was an error connecting to the Apple ID server. Windows 10.

I have Windows 10 on my pc. I have the most current iTunes and iCloud updates as well. Ever since the most recent update, I am unable to sign in to any apple accounts from my desktop computer. I can sign in without problems on my iphone and ipad, and the online icloud. When I try to sign in through the desktop itunes program or through the icloud for windows program, I get a pop-up window that says "Verification Failed" - "There was an error connecting to the Apple ID server." I have tried restarting my computer, uninstalling and re-installing both programs, I have tried changing my apple id password. Nothing seems to work. Please help! Thanks!

Have you found a solution. This problem just started with my computer. i have tried all of the suggested fixes, but nothing works. I put iTunes on my wife's notebook, and it works fine there, No one has been able to help me. Apple support ran me through two hours of fixes to no avail and then said it was a Microsoft problem. I spoke to a tech at Microsoft who told me they don't fix third party apps. So, I tried a search and got this thread, but nothing here works either. So, if you have found an answer, I'd love to know what it is. Thank you.

I'm experiencing the same problem and I've turned off the proxy setting under network setting. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I re-verified my Internet connectivity, and the problem still persists. Could this be that the proxy that the Internet provider used or some stock proxy address from Windows?

Mine too.

Maybe that the proxy of the computer might be the thing, because every time I modify the proxy address and restarted PC settings, it goes back to its stock address.
