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

    OMG, I can't believe the same "Apple icloud bug" is also driving so many people crazy too! I have found 2 solutions to so far:

    1. When the pop up happens, just ignore it and click on the other apps or windows and keep working on whatever you were doing. It doesn't pop back up to the front if you don't click on it or keep relogging every 2 mins.
    2. Since I have being using an iphone for so long,,, I just bought a MacPro.... now there're no rejection of icloud and pop ups every 2 minutes.

    Julian - How did you disable iCloud Push Services? iCloud push is what cause the iCloud app to popup. Did disabling it work for you?

    Windows 11 Pro here fully patched etc. I felt compelled to reply.

    1. I started experiencing this issue yesterday and did a lot of the steps outlined by others in this thread
    2. I locked my family out of iCloud by trying to log in too many times - so we reset the iCloud PW and still the issue persisted
    3. Next, I disabled the start-up apps on Task Manager (while this would work for a short period, the app would suddenly reappear)
    4. Looked at disabling background processes under Task Manager but still no go.

    Here are the steps I took today and so far so good.

    1. Restarted the computer
    2. Logged into the Windows iCloud app and kept the iCloud app open on my desktop
    3. I went to the Settings / Apps / Installed Apps
    4. Found the iCloud App and clicked the "..." icon on the right for Advanced Options
    5. Clicked "On" all the "Runs at log-In" tasks (they were in the off position)
    6. Finally scrolled down the page until I got to the Reset / Repair button and I "Repaired" the iCloud App

    So far so good. Results can and will vary - Good luck :)

    But Christine, the question was "why...." Why does iCloud suddenly start popping open after years of just quietly working in the background?
