Here are several troubleshooting steps that you can try:

• Make sure your Windows Software is up to date.
• If you are using a downloaded version, uninstall and reinstall the program from your MyDownloads folder.  How do I find my TurboTax for Windows software download?
• If that doesn't help, try a manual update. What is a manual update?
• Turning off your VPN and anti-virus software during the update can help as well.

I have MacOS version 15.3, not window

I managed to e-file after I updated my MacOS from 15.3 to 15.3.1, which included the laptop reboot.  After that, when I open the TurboTax app, this time, it detected an update is available.  After the update on Turbo Tax app, it e-file successfully.
