cannot save Premier in Windows 11

GarryDG — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 15:54:52 GMT

Just downloaded Premier from Costco on Windows11. Up and running. Have been using Premier for at least 20 years. Imported last years data ... no problem. Tried to close and save program and got message "File not found Check the file name and try again". Target location correct. Have no idea as to what is happening. The file extension by defalt says *tax2025.

Module WinPerRelease Version 025.000.0203

I am wondering if there is some weird interaction with the online version which I declined.

thanks.

I did a force shut down yesterday. This am ran TT and found that the file was saved to the folder during shutdown. Is funtioning normally now. Why? Probally will never know. Do not think this was a security issue. As this was the first save for the file, perhaps the write function was looking for the file that did not yet exist and did not initalize a create-file.
