TurboTax 2024 update failure

I get an update failure every time I open TurboTax Premier 2024.

You may need to do a manual update. 

What is a manual update?

it's happening again today.  long wait for green bar to start. estimate download time increases. after nominal 4 or 5 minutes, fails altogether. what's happening??

Try turning off all anti-virus software when updating.  This could be blocking proper transmission of the updates. 

Here's How to Turn Off Anti-Virus Programs.

there must be a better solution, especially in this internet environment. turning off anti-virus is too dangerous. remember, updates worked this season until today so maybe it is a TurboTax issue.

Have you tried doing the manual update?  This worked for me yesterday when I had an issue updating the software.  @InNewJersey
