Q: iCloud: Verification failed
I cannot log in to iCloud through MS Outlook, and thus, my Calendar and Contacts information are no longer visible in Outlook. I have no problem logging in to iCloud through www.icloud.com, and can access all my iTunes music. I reset my iCloud password, but this did not improve matters.
I think that this problem may date from when I took the Windows 10 AU update. Are others finding the same problem?
Windows 10, Anniversary Update v1607

Johnny - thanks.
I was the cause of the problem. I had uninstalled and re-installed iCloud several times, also did a repair of Office 2010, still that same result. Then I remembered two privacy apps on my machine, Ruiware's WinPrivacy and WinAntiRansom, and disabled them. iCloud re-installed as intended. Dohhh!
I am back to where I should be, iCloud for Windows is providing the interface in Outlook for my calendar and contacts data stored in iCloud.
A bit of a wasted day!
