Impossible to activate iCloud Drive check…

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Windows 10 Pro, 20H2, 19042.985

iCloud 12.3

Each time I activate iCloud Drive checkbox and press Apply button – checkbox deactivates automatically. Earlier iCloud Drive worked OK. Any ideas how to fix this?

Windows, Windows 10

Hi i_rina.

My current Windows version is the last one, so I can’t update it further.

iCloud ports are open.

Third-party security software is absent. I use only native Windows Defender.

If you have followed all the steps in the Apple Support articles and iCloud Drive is still not activating, then we recommend that you Contact - Official Apple Support.

Have a good day!

Hi Zam_vr_,

Have you found a solution o you issue because i experiment the same issue execpt i ’m on 21H2 windows 10 version and logs are the same

Hi, asimov67.

I guess that this problem is connected somehow with the fact that I worked under domain user.

In the end I was able to activate iCloud Drive but here is how my experience looked like:

  1. I reinstalled Windows.
  2. I created a local Windows user and installed iCloud.
  3. After several hours it stopped working (logs were the same), so i moved to domain user (provided by my work administrator).
  4. I installed iCloud again and it works properly.
