Windows 10 october 2018 update doesn't get along well with iCloud

Microsoft has had countless problems with the release of the Windows 10 October 2018 Update, to the point of having to postpone its release until November. The update was withdrawn within four days of its original release in October due to quality issues, primarily involving file deletion for some users. Now a new problem comes to light that affects iCloud.

Windows 10 October 2018 Update has problems with iCloud

After a month on hiatus, Microsoft relaunched the update last week, vowing to be more transparent and vigilant about issues with Windows 10 updates. True to its word, the company has sketched a list of new issues discovered in the Windows 10 October 2018 Update, just a day after the new post. It seems that the company's problems are not yet over, as the company has encountered another error blocking iCloud installation.

Microsoft has updated its dedicated Windows 10 October 2018 update page, to identify a new issue that prevents the installation of iCloud in the operating system, citing compatibility issues. Users who already have the software installed also face problems syncing shared albums. Microsoft has detailed the problem as follows:

Apple has identified an incompatibility with iCloud for Windows (version 7.7.0.27) where users may experience problems updating or syncing shared albums after updating to Windows 10 version 1809.

To ensure a smooth experience, Microsoft is locking devices with iCloud for Windows software (version 7.7.0.27) installed to bring you Windows 10, version 1809 until this issue is resolved.

Because Microsoft works with Apple to resolve the issue, devices with iCloud installed will not be offered version 1809 of Windows 10. It is currently unclear when the problem will be fixed, but we will inform you when Microsoft offers an update on import.
