Please make sure that you don't have any security/anti-malware software on your computer that's blocking TurboTax. Also make sure that you are not in S-Mode. You might also want to try running the program as an administrator, by right clicking on the icon and selecting Run As Administrator.

 If you are still not able to resolve this issue, please contact our phone support team for more assistance. 

Happy to report that I was able to uninstall the non-functioning 2024 version. I was careful to also remove the default folder(s) where it was installed. I then completed the   install without lauching the program. I lauched the program (as administrator) and accepted to prompt to have the updates applied. The updates were successfully downloaded and applied. I satisfied the prompts for the product key and now have Turbo Tax 2024 fully functional.

A happy customer but wonder if maybe my the circumstance I encounterd may have been the result of the required updates from Intuit were archived and I was not patient enough to have them from the archives.  

We are happy to hear that you got your 2024 TurboTax software working 🙂 Happy filing!
