TurboTax Application Settings

I installed TurboTax 2023 Desktop version from the download file.

When I entered the license code, upon restart an error message appeared that stated "TurboTax application settings were not created properly during the installation."

It then instructed me to run TurboTax in Administrator mode.

In many years of using TurboTax and its predecessors, I have never encountered this message, or any error at all.

I am always suspicious when a program wants administrative privileges.

Is this normal and has anyone encountered this?

Thanks

Different computers have different configurations and settings, so, some users may need to run the software in Administrator mode.
