Failed Validation Error - Cannot E File Fed and CA Taxes

I unable to E-file Federal and CA State taxes. Message keeps telling me to install the latest TT 2024 update. When I go to Online Menu and check updates, TT tells me I'm to date. None of the suggested fixes worked. Now what!

I'm running Windows 11 and have all the recommended specs.
