TTax Desktop Suddenly Won't Open

Suddenly today my TTax Desktop (Win 11) won't open. I get a very short banner flash, then nothing. Nothing showing in Task Manager. Tried reboot. I've had it installed for some time - almost done with my taxes. Any ideas? Anyone else seeing this?

I didn't have a problem today...even with this morning's TTX update.

There was a Windows OS update earlier this week that (maybe) is only partially-installed.....though the reboot should have finished that...unless it was still in the middle of installing when you rebooted. Should probably check into that first though.

Thanks I'll check on that! I try not to jump on the Windows updates too fast, in case there are issues - but that could be it!
