In this post, we'll explore some common problems that can occur when using iCloud with Outlook on Windows 10 and provide solutions to get you back up and running smoothly.

Background: Recent Updates

ICloud version 5.0 added support for Windows 10, while version 5.1 introduced compatibility with Outlook 2016 (both 32-bit and 64-bit).

* Some traces of the program can still be found on your computer

* Related processes continue to run after removal
