iCloud for Windows no longer shows an option for iCloud mail, calendar and contacts to addin to Outlook 2013 in my new Windows 11 PC. Is there a workaround for this?

Question

After adding iCloud for Windows on my prior Windows PC, sighing into my iCloud account the options included mail, calendar and contracts. That option is not there when I install iCloud for Windows on my Windows 11 laptop. Instead, there is a statement at the top of the iCloud for Windows that says that you access these at iCloud.com. Therefore, I cannot sync my iphone calendar and contacts with Outlook I cannot find anything online that solves this problem. Surely this is possible since there are so many of us that want to sync Outlook with our iPhone.

Answer 1

I had the same problem, with no way to show iCloud contacts, and no solutions proposed online worked. I finally fixed the problem today. First, I uninstalled iCloud, I uninstalled Mail, and I uninstalled another program Outlook (New). I had a suspicion that having two Outlooks in the system and/or Mail, might be screwing up iCloud. After deleting everything, the remaining Outlook would not open. So I went into the Uninstall settings and highlighted Microsoft Office (2021), which I had recently installed. I then instructed it to "Repair" the program using Quick Repair. After that finished, I was able to open Outlook as normal. I closed Outlook, then searched for Download iCloud For Windows on Google, opened the Apple page, which redirected me to the Microsoft store, where I downloaded iCloud. After that finished downloading, I did not open iCloud. I restarted the pc. After the pc restarted, I opened iCloud, which asked me to sign in. After signing in, it lead me through five choices, such as do I want to sync photos, etc, etc. The last page asked to sync Contacts and Calendars. I checked that box. I then opened Outlook and, VOILA, my iCloud contacts were there. Working with a pc shouldn't be this difficult.
