Error trying to verify identity in iCloud Drive

Signing in to iCloud Drive on Windows 10, I get this error message every time: "Verification Failed - Failed to create Pl" I can sign in via Firefox with no issues. It's just when I try to work from my iCloud Drive loaded on my windows 10 laptop.

Windows, Windows 10 (19045)

Signing in to iCloud Drive on Windows 10, I get this error message every time: "Verification Failed - Failed to create Pl"... I can sign in via Firefox with no issues. It's just when I try to work from my iCloud Drive loaded on my windows 10 laptop. I get the prompt for two factor login and enter the code, then the message pops up with the error and that I'll have to log in again. Doesn't matter how many times I log in with a new code... same error.
