SteamTrain:
Last year I had a direct download (from Amazon) version. This year it was from a disc. Same issue.
No Windows updates left. I installed them all.
Running as an administrator didn't help.
rjs:
Yes, TurboTax is activated.
Yes, my almost new computer running Windows 11 meets the minimum requirements.
No, I am not using S mode. I suspect that if I was and TurboTax doesn't support it, I wouldn't have been able to make it this far.
As for your final claim, what are you smoking? A few seconds of searching this forum produced these hits:

This issue is neither new nor unique to my machine(s).
Anyway, I finally got around the issue by having a family member with TurboTax submit the return for me from their machine.
