iCloud won't install on Windows 1809 October 2018 Update?

Steps taken:

1) Download iCloud software directly from Apple's website onto a 64-bit version of Windows 10 Pro v1809.

2) Double-click iCloud installer to install.

3) A prompt appears stating that iCloud requires Windows 7, 8, or 10 version earlier than April 2018 update.

4) Installer exits.

5) Using compatibility mode on Windows 10 does not help.

6) Changing Registry file to try and trick iCloud into thinking Windows 10 is an older version does not work. (May need to be a different part of the registry).

7) iCloud worked fine on Windows 10 v1809 when updating from the April version, it just cannot be fresh-installed on v1809 for some reason.

Apple please disable the Windows Version check on the iCloud installer. It works fine on the latest update, and there is no excuse for it to not work by now anyway.
