icloud for windows keeps asking for password

Hi everybody!

A new version of ICloud (7.5) for Windows is available. I was happy because thought that Apple solved the question but not, new version old bug.

I installed the new 7.5.0.34 version of iCloud that was pushed to my laptop yesterday. Popups prompting for sign in are still appearing. Frustrating!!

Hi,

Really they change the for newest version.

I get other one, but I don’t know if this version works.

Good luck

Will try this later. Already tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Again, makes no sense.

Version 7.6 is out, still having the same issue ...

Update - no icloud settings pop up window but not saving the login credentials either. Still busted.

Do what I plan to do. STOP using IOS related software on Windows PCs. I keep getting "error connecting to Apple ID server" every time I try to logon to iCloud on my HP15 Windows 10 laptop even though my HP15 Windows 9.1 does logon with no problem. Microsoft is no help; they insist it's an Apple problem since it's Apple software.

I wish I hadn't bought an iPad; my Android tablets are SO MUCH EASIER to connect to my PCs.

Having the problem on my laptop only, but desktop is fine. Same versions of Windows 10 Pro and same versions of iCloud. I went to the iCloud settings on the web and removed the 3 laptop device instances there. I noticed that when I logged back into icloud on the laptop - and then came back to icloud settings on the web, the laptop is coming up with a version of windows as 6.2.2 and not Windows 10 - which it was before.

Going to restart the laptop now to see if the iCloud login recurs. Will update shortly.

I have been through a lot of troubleshooting with Apple's support team and everything points to this being down to a bug introduced recently in iCloud for Windows or their APIs.

We found that the issue only occurs if you have two-factor authentication enabled on your account and are prompted to enter the 6-digit code at login. If you disable two-factor authentication (I don't recommend it for security reasons), the issue goes away.

In capturing logs when reproducing the issue, there is an API call that iCloud for Windows is making to Apple's servers every now and again to check you are still logged in. This call receives a bad response back from the server, and causes iCloud for Windows to assume you need to login again.

Sadly I haven't had any update as to when this will be fixed.

That link shows me this:

"iCloud Control Panel for Windows 7.5"

I think that is the new version of the software, not the old one.
