iCloud for Windows 10 sign-in fails with 'Verification Failed' error

iCloud for windows 10 fails to authenticate. I have downloaded the latest version of iCloud for windows and when I click on 'Get Started', I enter my email and my password. I have checked and double checked that the email is correct and that the password is correct. When I then click on 'Sign In' it spins a blue circle next to my password for almost a minute and then pops up an error:

"Verification Failed

There was an error connecting to the Apple Account server" with only a blue "Ok".

It then return to Sign in to iCloud with you Apple Account screen. What can I do? When I sign in online on Edge I have no issues signing in, but if I want to click on "Drive" it will say the following:

"There was a problem loading your recently opened files.

Please try again later."

Anyone who can help please.

Thank you.
