Quicken will not open in Windows 11

Lurch

I just bought a new computer and migrated everything from the old one. Quicken would not open, so I went to my account and downloaded Quicken again. It still would not open it. So in desperation, I uninstalled Quicken (I have a full backup) and downloaded it again from my account. I get this error message when I try to open it "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (X86)\Quicken\qw.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly , and then try again." I have a subscription and this is the version I am trying to download and open. Does anyone have any suggestions. Quicken's support line will not be open for two more days.

I have the same problem. I keep reporting it but no answers yet

Thanks, guess I have to wait until Tuesday to get an answer, unless they happen to be open tomorrow.

Do you have Controlled Folder Access enabled in Windows Defender?

no I do not

I found my answer. Even though the new computer came running McCaffee, Windows Defender was still running firewalls behind it. After McCafee was removed and the firewalls turned off on Windows Defender, Quicken loaded.
