BIOS Update caused an issue after booting

I had to\ran the update the BIOS on my computer today, and on restart, the iCloud for windows app challenging me to login. Not a big deal right?
Except after inputting my password, I get a "Verification failed. To finish signing in to iCloud for Windows, you need a verification code. Sign in to an Apple device running iOS 16.2 or later, or macOS 13.1 or later."
• Advanced Data Protection is enabled
• All of my devices are on the same network (per ADP requirements)
• Phone, tablets, and WIN 11 laptop are all in (bluetooth) range of my computer (per ADP requirements)
• All Apple devices are on the most current OS

I have used every password in my password notebook with no results.  I really do not trust Dell updates because everything was working properly before I foolishly allowed the update,and it still does with exception of the iCloud pop after a new boot.  The popup remains on screen behind anything else.  I have been using my laptop in this condition since late November 2024.
