iCloud for Windows upgrade apparently blocked under Windows 10 version 1809 build

If you’ve been using iCloud on your Windows 10 partition, you’re not going to like this.
Microsoft is apparently preventing users of Apple’s iCloud for Windows tool from updating Windows 10 to the latest build, the update offering a new warning for version 1809 of the Microsoft operating system advising the iCloud software is not currently supported.
The status page for the new release of Windows 10 version 1809 was updated with an upgrade block last Friday afternoon. The block actively prevents systems running iCloud for Windows version 7.7.0.27 at all. As well as Windows 10, the block also applies to Windows Server version 1809 and Windows Server 2019.

From its end, Apple has stated that the incompatibility with iCloud for Windows can lead to instances where users “may experience issues updating or synching Shared Albums” after migrating to Windows 10 1809. Microsoft claims it is working with Apple to produce a compatible version of iCloud for Windows 10 that works with the Windows 10 update.
At present, users who attempt to install iCloud for Windows on Windows 10 version 1809 will see the installation fail following a warning message that advises of the incompatibility. Windows desktops that have yet to be updated to 1809 are being blocked from upgrading until the issue is resolved.
Microsoft has also recommended against users trying to manually update iCloud for Windows via alternative means.
The re-release of Windows 10 version 1809 follows after the discovery the October update had issues where users documents and drivers were being deleted on their devices in some cases, an issue that was seemingly linked to OneDrive. A second problem relating to specific Intel audio drivers causing spikes in processor demand and battery usage, with a similar download block applied until the update could be fixed.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
