My Quicken 2016 Deluxe stopped working today when, upon launching the program, I was prompted to log in with my (defunct) Intuit account. I used to know how to resolve this issue and even bookmarked a link with the details, but the community discussion containing the details (link below) has been archived.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program on my Windows 11 laptop using the original installation media from Amazon and then subsequently applied the R19 patch (QW2016R19.5MPatch.EXE), but I'm now getting a blank screen when I open the program.
I've also attempted the same process on an old Windows 10 laptop, but I'm getting the same result, and I web searches have not provided a resolution that works.
Unfortunately, I don't have a backup of the prior install, as I typically don't backup program files. Is there anyone still using Quicken 2016 that has recently gone through this ordeal and found a solution? If so, I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide.
