I'm having some trouble logging into iTunes on my Windows laptop. I downloaded iTunes from the Microsoft Store, and all my Windows updates are current, but every time I try to log in with my email and password, I get a pop-up saying there's a verification error followed by, "this action could not be completed please try again later." I've been trying for about an hour with no luck. I've done a bunch of troubleshooting already: I've restarted my laptop, switched internet connections (tried both my hotspot and Wi-Fi, and even went offline), ensured iTunes is up to date, successfully logged into Apple services via a web browser, checked for any service outages on Apple's site, confirmed I'm not using a VPN, made sure my clock settings are correct, tried logging in with my firewall off, and even uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I also found that I can sign into the Apple Music app without a problem, which makes me think the issue is isolated to iTunes. Additionally, I noticed I'm having the same problem with the iCloud app for Windows. I can access iCloud.com without issues, but the app won't let me log in either. Any other suggestions on how to fix this?

Why are you even using iTunes? It's pretty outdated now. If you're just trying to manage music, have you thought about switching to Apple Music through the app? And about the iCloud app problem—it's odd that you're having this issue when the web version works fine. Could it be a compatibility issue with your specific Windows version?
I encountered the same problem recently! What worked for me was checking my firewall settings. Sometimes, those can block certain apps. Make sure iTunes and iCloud are allowed through your firewall. If that doesn't help, you might want to try reinstalling the iCloud app, but make sure to fully uninstall the existing one first.
It sounds like you're running into some frustrating issues. While iTunes is still around, Apple has been hinting at phasing it out, which might be contributing to the login troubles. Have you checked for any updates specifically for the iCloud app? That might help with your issue. Also, sometimes clearing the app's cache can resolve these pesky login problems.
