TurboTax 2022 downloaded and installed but will not run - Windows 11

It's been two months since the last entry in this thread and, today, I suddenly ran into the same problem after running TurboTax 2022 fine since it came out. After about the fourth reinstallation, it finally started working IF AND ONLY IF I right click the icon and tell it to run as an administrator. None of the suggestions for compatibility changes worked, but this finally does. It's a PITA to remember that, but I guess I will after a while.

 

Hopefully, Intuit will fix this in a soon to be released update.

Your suggestions did not work on my machine. What did work was to do none of the things you suggested, but to go to Properties – Shortcut - Advanced and click on the box to Run As Administrator. I did this on the desktop icon and everything worked again after that.

 

Interestingly enough, it is working on my other two machines without running it as an administrator.
