Description

On AltServer for Windows, if you don't yet have the .exe version of iCloud set up, AltServer gives you a download link. If you follow this link and download the .exe, iCloud doesn't let you sign in and says you need to update it.

Research direction

Start at the AltServer for Windows flow that presents the iCloud download link and check which .exe URL it uses. Verify the linked iCloud installer is current enough to allow sign-in, then test the first-time setup flow to confirm the update prompt no longer appears.
