iCloud for Windows not fully initialized.

I have Windows 11 Home.... same question/issue...

I'm trying to install iCloud for Windows. When I launch the app from the Microsoft app store, I get a message saying: "iCloud for Windows has not fully initialized. Please wait a monent and log in again." I have tried several times over the past few days without success. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and restarted my computer several times. Any ideas on how to get beyond this issue?

Hi,

I found a solution when i check my firewall logs.

Have a look at Jabbers protocol on port 5223.

In my case, allowing this protocol in my firewall rules allowed the connection to my icloud account.

On windows 11, resolved the problem by downloading and connecting to itunes app.

After that the icloud app was able to connect to my apple ID. (before that i had the "not fully initialized message")

Let me know if it did the trick for you...

I have same issue "icloud for windows not fully initialized" but i try add Security Keys to my account and try login again it' work.

Now: icloud for windows ark me to insert Security Keys, but login success i can use i cloud for windows no problem.

Add Security Keys to account like Yubico.

What worked for me, was to uninstall iCloud, uninstall iCloud for Outlook (needed to click the three-dots, and modify, and remove), and then reinstall iCloud for Windows (through the Microsoft App Store).

I tried the above steps, didn't work. Even called Apple and did screenshare with them for a bit.

I too found 13.4.101.0 appx and I'm so happy it's working. It just took me some clever online searching to find it on Reddit.

Just in case it helps others, I was suffering with this issue on an older Windows 10 laptop.

I followed the steps above, but only needed to delete the certificate from certmgr, then rebooted and iCloud signed in first time.

You can easily find older versions by using your Windows admin terminal and the winget commands. This will dodge 99% of those threat actors and bad files floating around on those websites. Here's the command to use.

Right click your Windows logo, look for Terminal(admin). Once open you'll type in this command; winget search "iCloud" When you find the version you want to install, simply highlight the ID with your mouse, use ctrl + c to copy the full ID name then type winget install <ctrl + v> to paste the ID into the command then hit <enter> type "Y" when prompted by Windows to agree to installing from not their bloated Microsoft Store. Done.

I am having the same issue.

Question: Has anyone had the problem occur with Windows 10 PROFESSIONAL? Or are our issues associated with Windows 10 HOME alone?

Happening on Windows 11 Enterprise for me

UPDATE: Installed iCloud successfully on wife's PC (Windows 10 HOME), so it's not a PRO vs HOME issue. Something on my PC is blocking the installation. But what...?

Having the same problem. Reinstalled several times. I am using Win 11 Pro

Thanks delavega79. My comments were not meant for you, but for others who might be troubleshooting this issue.
