iCloud 'connection error' message while trying to connect to server

I've been using iCloud with Edge & Windows 11 with no problems. It worked fine yesterday morning, but I got the error message in the afternoon.

Tried restarting iPhone and PC...didn't help

Turned off PC firewall...didn't help

No problems in Apple System Status.

I tried Mozilla browser and iCloud worked beautifully!

Appreciate any input that would explain why Edge suddenly won't let me sign in to iCloud.

Hello duckytoo,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


Let's verify Microsoft edge is up to date using these steps:


"Update once

In the browser, go to Settings and more  > Help and feedback About Microsoft Edge(edge://settings/help). 


  • If the About page shows Microsoft Edge is up to date., you don't need to do anything.
  • If the About page shows An update is available. Select Download and install to proceed. Network charges may apply., select Download and install. Microsoft Edge will download the update an apply it the next time you restart Microsoft Edge. Note that if you're on cellular network, downloading the update may incur charges.
  • If the About page shows To finish updating, restart Microsoft Edge., select Restart. The update is already downloaded and all you need to do is restart the browser for it to be applied."


Additional details can be found here: Microsoft Edge update settings


If the issue persists, you may have to contact Microsoft directly.


You can do so by going to : Microsoft Support


Hopefully this helps.


Cheers!
