Turbo tax 2023 won't launch post installation. Getting Error: "Could not create directory C:\Users\??\AppData\Roaming\Intuit Canada\tt2023\"

While installing turbotax standard 2023 in windows 11 laptop, getting error message: 

"Could not create directory C:\Users\??\AppData\Roaming\Intuit Canada\tt2023\".

 

Installation finished, however, Turbotax 2023 could not launch, getting the same error after clicking turbotax 2023 icon. "Could not create directory C:\Users\??\AppData\Roaming\Intuit Canada\tt2023\".

 

I am administrator for the laptop. I have provided admin and users full control to c:\users folder and tried reinstallation. This did not resolve the issue.

 

Any suggestion on how to resolve this issue? 

 

Thanks in advance.

I downloaded, completed, and submitted 2 tax returns yesterday.  The program worked well.  Today when I try to open the program I get the following message: 

tt2023.exe - Application Error

X  The application was unable to start correctly (0xc00000e5).

     Click OK to close the application

I uninstalled and reinstalled the program and I still get the same message.

I get the same error message when I try to open from the icon on my desktop and from the windows menu.

Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Yes call back would be great.  I am free for the next hour and 15 minutes if that is a possibility.
