Hi Rick,

I'm Christine, a Windows user like you. I'll do my best to help you.

Looks like you're getting a popped up of iCloud on your startup.

This usually occurs when it's enabled on Startup Settings.

To disable it, please follow the steps below:

Press right click the Start Menu and choose Task Manager, then select the Startup tab and right-click iCloud and select Disable.

Restart your device and it should not popped up on your startup.

Please let me know the result. I'll be happy to assist you all the way until it's resolved.

Thank you,

Christine L

    Disabling iCloud in Startup does not work for me. I have disabled everything that says "iCloud", but I'm still constantly besieged by the pop-up sign-in screen. Other ideas?

    I have the same problem which only began recently.

    I disabled all of the iCloud apps I located in the Startup. Did not stop the popups.

    I then opened Task Manager -- Processes -- Background Processes and disabled everything related to iCloud and that DID work. Temporarily. It worked for a few days.

    Then the pop-ups started again but with even more frequency -- as in every few seconds. Impossible to get any work done. Again. I disabled the iCloud apps in the Background Processes, and it did stop the popups. Annoying but at least it helps. Would really like a more permanent solution.

    I've thought about deleting the iCloud apps, but I have an iPhone and all my photos and videos are automatically uploaded to my iCloud account. It keeps saying that if I delete the app all my content will be permanently deleted so that does not seem to be a reasonable solution either.

    Frustrating.

    I tried this solution (disabling iCloud in the Startup Apps menu) but it still didn't work. It would spontaneously start up and present me with the sign-in screen. I eventually had to uninstall iCloud from my computer. And it's still causing me problems - I need to restore to an earlier point in time, and iCloud-related issues keep preventing the system from doing the restore properly. Insidious garbage.

    I have the same issue as Sheila. i don't want to uninstall anything. I just don't want to see the pop up sign in window every time I try to do something.
