I was ready to file and got the message that there were 5 updates to download. But TT could not download them. I went to digitally file my taxes, but TT would not let me do it without the last updates. Very disappointed!Any ideas?

Open Task Manager, click on the Details tab, find and click on msiexec.exe to select it, then click on End Task. Updates should work fine then. Had same problem both last year and this year.
