Running Windows 10 Pro - 1909 - and TurboTax2019 Deluxe. Program and Manual Upgrade failure.
When Turbotax 2019 Deluxe starts, the update window comes up and soon after a window pops up that says "Intuit Update has stopped working" A problem stopped the program from working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. The only option then is to Close Program. Then Turbotax 2019 Deluxe starts up but is not updated.
Troubleshooting on TurboTax website refers one to a link to manually update.
The manual update program downloads, executes but stops with the message NET 4.5.2 Framework verification can't be found. The link "Click For Solution" opens a web page which reports "We're sorry, the page you requested could not be found".
When the program was checked by Microsoft it reported "incompatible Program -- Not fixed."
Windows 10 "should" already have Microsoft Net Framework 4.6 or higher, which is more than the minimum.
See if running a TurboTax Repair makes any difference. It is a "repair in place" not an uninstall, even though you start it by choosing Uninstall/Change. Just follow the steps as outlined in this FAQ:
FAQ: How to repair TurboTax in Microsoft Windows
Report back if necessary.
When you installed your TurboTax program, did you install it with Administrator privilege?
Also, what antivirus program are you using?
Be sure your firewall/antivirus is not blocking anything. In order to update there are a couple of files that need firewall permission for Internet access. These are usually granted access by default when the program is installed, but for some people might not be, depending on their particular security software and settings.
intuitupdateservice.exe
intuitupdater.exe
For 2019 in Windows 10, these 2 files are both located in the folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intuit\Update Service v4\
The TurboTax program executable also needs Internet permission:
For Deluxe it is located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\TurboTax\Deluxe 2019\32bit\turbotax.exe

I am 80 years old and I can read the post. There is a problem updating TurboTax 2019. TurboTax support should focus on getting that fixed instead of criticizing users who have faulty product just they shouted at you.
Close the TurboTax program
Right click on the TurboTax desktop icon
Click on the Compatibility tab
Check the box Run as administrator
Click on Apply and then OK
Start the TurboTax program. The software should update.

***********************************THANKS TO ALL FOR THE INFO**********
2LD4: Thank you for taking the time to reply with your Updater success. Your instructions were the ONLY thing that worked for me. Thanks!
This was a Windows problem. Here is what worked for me.
Open Control Panel.
Click on Uninstall or change a program.
In the left column of the window that opens, click on Turn Windows Features on or off.
(You can also search for "turn on windows features" and run it directly.)
In the Windows Features window, Make sure ALL the NET Framework Features are turned ON.
Restart your PC
My TurboTax Deluxe updates all the time now.
I tried everything suggested in this discussion, and by the support team, but every time I tried to update it would fail with the Problem Signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: IntuitUpdater.exe
Application Version: 4.5.1.0
Application Timestamp: 57c9174e
Fault Module Name:
atcuf32.dll
...
I finally realized that atcuf32.dll is part of the Bitdefender Antivirus 2019 program. Once I temporarily turned off Bitdefender (turned off the Firewall, Vulnerability and Advanced Threat Defense, all under Protection Features, and under Settings I turned off the Bitdefender Shield for 15 minutes). everything worked fine. I have no idea if the problem is with Turbo Tax 2019 (all the previous versions worked fine under Bitdefender), or with the latest level of Bitdefender (2019). My money is on Intuit having done something wrong for the 2019 version.
Worked for me!! Spent hours with everyone's attempts, looks like it is hit and miss: Mult. uninstalls, reinstall with anti virus off, use the TTclenaup Tool (did they misspell "cleanup" on purpose??), tried all this in/out of Windows Selective Startup Mode. I did not spend much time on the phone with TT support so I have no opinion. There's probably more solutions out there. Stick with it.
@ cardt
I've reported to TurboTax that the name of that "state cleanup utility" file is misspelled. 🙄 Thanks for the tip!
For users who have a state download-install loop after updating, there's a new FAQ concerning that state download loop where users can download that cleanup utility and then, hopefully, solve the issue. If the cleanup utility doesn't work, however, the FAQ recommends an alternate approach.

This may be an issue with your web browser. Clear your browsers cookies and cache then reboot your computer. If this does not solve the issue post a reply for additional help.
I can't find the tab you refer to to download the "update" that I now need now that my taxes are done, paid for, and glitching over the supposed need for an update. This should have been done before I started. Unsat at any speed! Of course, I don't see any help phone nr!
Are you using the Desktop installed program? On Windows or Mac? On Windows Desktop yo go up to the very top menu line, go to Online then Check for Updates. Or close Turbo Tax and reopen it. Try rebooting your computer.
See on this screen shot up in the top black bar, the 5th item
Are you using an online version or desktop?
If you are using the online version, you might also want to clear the cache as well.

Why won't Turbo Tax Federal install updater, error 2329?
Didn't work. Still can't file state tax due to error message "Need to update." When I try to update program says "Updates current." Tried uninstalling and reinstalling in selective startup after deleting the TT Delux program. Still not working. Wasting so much time on this! 3 years in a row had problems with this software. About ready to dump Intuit and its inferior support!

Is it NY or MA by any chance? If so, see this FAQ (Windows version) :
https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-topics/help/there-is-an-update-available-for-your-version-of-turbotax-loop-when-e-filing-windows/00/1116299
If not, then phone TurboTax Support. Ask them to provide you your state program download as a standalone state installer. I've seen some users say that worked for them. So that's something to try.
You can use this contact form to get a phone number, or it may schedule a call back. Where it asks what product you are using, be sure to indicate you are using the CD/download version.

While it's possible someone might see your question and respond with some info in this thread, you probably should ask that as your own new thread instead of in the midst of an old cluttered thread. Then it will show up the whole forum as unanswered. And it is more likely to receive attention if you mention that in the thread title. But continue to watch both threads.

The question line is limited in space and is for a summary of your issue. Mention the Error 2329 there as part of your question title to attract anyone familiar with it. Then below that is a box for more details about your issue if needed.
Need updates for Turbo Tax CD 2020. Where do I get them?
How to update

For Windows, If your program says it's up to date or you can't update it then do the Manual Update. This has also fixed the State forms not available problem for some users.
