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 finally able to disable it. After searching around a bit here's what I did:

    1. Right click on Start Menu and go to Task Manager.
    2. In Task Manager, from the icon menu on the upper left, choose the 4th icon down below the hamburger - "startup apps" (looks like a gas gauge).
    3. On the "Startup apps" menu, highlight "iCloud". If it currently says "enabled" in the Status Column, that's why you are getting the popup.
    4. Go up to the top of the page and click on the "Disable" icon with "iCloud" still highlighted.
    5. Close out of Task Manager.

    I haven't had the popup since I did this.

    Christine - you are brilliant many thanks!

    For two weeks or more I have been plagued with the constant popups frolm icloud - at least once every few seconds making my computer life impossible. I klwwp having to log in to icloud, changs my passworld, and when I was in I got another popup asking me to log in again!

    This went on and on and on. I phoned Apple Sujpport three times (mostly to Portugal) but they failed to help me. One said it is something to do with PC's operating syste, - you have finally proved this by such a simple solution when you know how!

    Thanks agin.

    Best wishes

    So where is the Start Menu? Is that the Microsoft icon?
