Then restart your computer and try opening TurboTax. 

Here's more for when TurboTax won't open:

1. Look for Intuit update service in the process tab and end process.

2. Type MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER and select OK (it'll look like nothing happened).
3. Repeat step 1 and type MSIEXEC /REGSERVER.
4. Install/update TurboTax again.

Start the Windows Installer Service:

1. Select Start, type Services.msc in the search box and press the Enter key.
2. Scroll down and open Windows Installer.
3. Select Manual as the Startup type.
4. Select Start and then OK.
5. Install/update TurboTax again.
