This is literally not what I need today! I came in early to get the pile of T1’s here completed and reviewd and TaxCycle won’t open! The window pops up, then nothing. I can’t even open it by clicking on a particular file. I’ve tried restarting, reinstalling, looking through the task manager, and sending an urgent message off. I just hope someone is awake that can help! ---

long shot but any chance installed the latest Windows 11 Insiders Preview? Rolling back was a quick fix for me. > **[Known Issue: TaxCycle Won't Run on Latest Windows 11 Insiders Preview Build...](https://www.taxcycle.com/news/known-issue-taxcycle-won-t-run-on-latest-windows-11-insiders-preview-build-22598/)** > > We've received reports of an issue where TaxCycle will not run after installing the latest Windows 11 Insiders Preview build, released this week. ---

_Nobody_ should be running Win 11 in a production environement at this point in time. It is not ready for prime time, let alone office work. ---

Tax season is not the time to be an “early adopter”, a term that marketing people use. ---

I know this is an old post but this is happening to me now. I can’t open the program at all or any of the files! What was your fix @nadia ? ---

Have you tried rebooting? Have you removed, rebooted and reinstalled? I’m running windows 11 with latest updates and it works for me ---

I had to re-install the program from the website and finally seems to be working. I have been receiving many error messages this year with Taxcycle too. I keep hitting “Report and Close” but it seems to continue with the task. Not sure what Taxcycle does with those reports.
