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

    I was having this issue as well on Windows 10 Enterprise ( my current version 10.0.19045 Build 19045 )

    I use iCloud with Microsoft Outlook email program.

    The fix for me was to sign-out of iCloud on my computer.

    And I ensured that all iCloud, apple, & bonjour apps & services were stopped on my computer.

    • Open Task Manager [ shortcut = ctrl + shift + esc ]
    • In Task Manager;
      • "iCloud xxxxx" and "Apple xxxxx" named items were in the "processes" tab and "details" tab.
      • The "Bonjour Service" was in the "Services" tab.
    • Find the named item in whichever tab, right click it and select: "End Task"
    • Also, when you open "Task Manager" , you may need to select the "More Details" at the bottom of the window to see everything I am mentioning.

    This stopped the login prompts completely.

    But since I actually use this service, I was able to start the iCloud app and login successfully this time.

    So far I have not had a popup for logging in again.

    I am guessing that there is probably a time-out period for the login session and this issue will resurface again in a few weeks.
