Windows 10 instructions:
Key word concept is : Windows 10, Controlled Folder Access
The Macintosh/Apple work around above is not the same as the one for Windows 10. You need to "allow" TurboTax2020 to have full access to the system using the Allow an App Through a Controlled Folder option.
Here is the fix to the problem of not finding the file its trying to save to with TurboTax 2020 and Windows 10.
I wish I had screenshots of these steps but you have to figure out exactly how to do it on your own. Here are the rough Steps:
-- > Windows Security
--> "Virus and Threat Protection"
--> "Controlled Folder Access"
Click --> "Allow an App Through a Controlled Folder option"
Choose the Recently Blocked Apps, and check all that apply, (ie . TurboTax )
Additionally if it stalled out doing its updates when you first started TurboTax, you might want to run it in Windows 2008 compatibility more. It seems to get through its updates better that way. You can start it with or without compatibility mode by using a right-click on the desktop icon.
PS Hope this helps - I am just another User/Victim of Turbo Tax and Windows. (dont blame me!!!)
