    Are you running Quicken Subscription?  If so, which version?
    If you are running a version earlier than Subscription (Quicken 2017 or before), which one?

    Quicken Classic Premier (US) Subscription: R65.15 on Windows 11 Home

    I have been able to start Quicken (latest subscription version) by running as administrator. I loaded the data file on another laptop and have no problem opening it. A Quicken service tech suggested my windows user id was damaged and causing the problem. Does this make any sense?

    Anyone having a problem with crashes have Controlled Folder Access enabled in Windows Defender?

    Also, you could try booting Windows into Safe Mode with Networking and running Quicken.

    Working with Quicken daily this last week. 

    Today, it crashes on open. Reboot, uninstall/re-install, change name of Qdata file - no difference. I could "soft open" by holding the ctrl button down continuously while clicking the Quicken icon. Quicken starts, but when I try to open the Qdata file, it crashes. 

    I changed the QData file name and then restored from last night's version. The data flashes in front of me and then...crash. An hour with support yields no additional clues. At the end, the tech suggests I call Microsoft because I have the latest Windows version, a newer computer, up to date Quicken software, a valid user id and everything needed to make it operate. 

    After hanging up, I see another post from someone who said they proved their data was ok by copying it to their wife's computer, installing Quicken and Bob's your uncle - it opens just fine. He went back to his own computer and tried to right click on the Quicken icon, selected "run as administrator" and it opens fine. He gets a message saying Quicken doesn't support this administrator thing and printing may not work properly. BUT, he has access to his actual data once again. I tried it and that worked. 

    Why? I do not know, Kemosabe. But it works.
