iCloud Drive suddenly stopped syncing my files and is since stuck on initialising. I already signed out and back in, rebooted, shut my pc down completely, reinstalled the windows executable version
and tried the Microsoft Store version. After all that its still stuck there.
iCloud on its own is working fine on my mac / iPhone and I can access iCloud on my PC via browser.
Is there anything else I can try?
Hi Jualmi,
Glad to hear things are working properly again. At this time we'd be unable to speculate if it's due to an additional Windows update or a temporary outage.
If you do encounter the same issue, we'd recommend ensuring your data is backed up and then removing / reinstalling iCloud for Windows.
If things are working properly at the moment however, you should be good to go.
Cheers!
Hello,
The Store had updated the app recently but didn't fix the issue.
But - I installed the optional windows 10 update "KB5004296" today and to my surprise the drive app is working again.
I don’t know if the update fixed it, or it fixed itself but it’s working, and my files are being synced again.
Thanks for the help regardless

iCloud stuck on initialising - common troubleshoots did not work
