why does the Turbo-TaX UPDATER get stalled at "3 minutes remaining " when attempting to get into the 2024 program

If you are using the check for updates options to update TurboTax and it is not preforming the update, you will need to manually update TurboTax.  To manually update TurboTax, follow these steps:

1. Close TurboTax and all other programs except this browser window.
2. Select this link to download the 319 MB update.
3. Save the update file to your Windows desktop.
4. Double-click the update file w_perrelsuperpatch... on your desktop to install the manual update.

We don't offer manual updates for TurboTax state software. If you need to update your state, here are your options.
