windows 10 october update breaks icloud

1. Open Registry Editor: Win+R | regedit
2. Navigate to the registry path: HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
3. Temporarily modify these 3 registry keys:
   • CurrentBuild set value to 17134 (instead of 17763)
   • CurrentBuildNumber set value to 17134 (instead of 17763)
   • ReleaseId set value to 1803 (instead of 1809)
4. Install iCloud: iCloudSetup.exe | when finished, do not restart yet
5. Restore initial values of the 3 keys (step 3)
6. Restart PC and complete setup of iCloud

For Windows 10 in 32-bit version, the path is: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

...Welcome back to the clouds 🙂

I also having the same issues after updating my Windows 10 .... This message comes out "iCloud for Windows requires Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10 (April 2018 Update) and earlier" and the after pressing OK another message comes out ie; "iCloud for Windows Installer Error"....at the end...cannot be install....please help...

Thank you, your solution worked. However, I still cannot use the photo feature. I keep getting 'iCloud Photo Library Cannot open database. Please restart windows.' Any thoughts on how to fix that issue? Nothing I have tried seemt to work. Thanks

Thanks and it almost worked. Installer went through the installation process but at the end stated that there was a problem and the program did not finish as expected. It then rolls back the installation. I tried running the installer as Administrator but it made no difference.

I've got this issue too. What are Apple doing about this. This is a deal breaker for me using Apple now as I've not had icloud for over 2 weeks now and no response from Apple from what I can see. Pure show from Apple as they must have known about this. As an end user how would I know that this would happen. I pay apple money each month and this happens. Not impressed. I can't get the workround working either.

Same here. Is a chance to have Apple communication ? À release date for an update ?

I just tried this advise just now........yes...it works......now I am able to install iCloud for Windows 10 with Ver 1809.
