  2. Restart iCloud Services:
    Restart the iCloud services on your Windows computer. You can do this by opening the iCloud for Windows application, going to the "iCloud Drive" tab, and unchecking the "iCloud Drive" option.

  4. Reinstall iCloud for Windows:
    If none of the above steps work, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling iCloud for Windows. Completely uninstall the iCloud for Windows application from your computer, restart the computer, and then download the latest version of iCloud for Windows from the official Apple website.
