Has anyone had a problem running their Quicken Classic app on Windows 11 today?

I tried to open Quicken this morning (3/7/26) and it wouldn't respond on my new Windows 11 PC. After multiple attempts to open the app in various ways, I decided to reinstall the program using a new downloaded .exe file from the Quicken website. Unfortunately, after uninstalling the program, the new installation failed because it claimed I had the file open. Now I have no Quicken version on my computer. I've tried multiple times subsequently to install the program from downloads, but it fails and gives me an error message that my computer doesn't meet the minimum system requirements. But I had been running Quicken successfully on my new computer for a month until this morning. I have my last data file and additional backups, but I can't use them without a program that works! Any suggestions?

    Okay. Maybe miracles occur. I just successfully reinstalled Quicken Classic using a copy of the .exe file that I had downloaded from the website in January! After numerous failures all day long. Seems to be working again, but I'll comment again if anything weird recurs.
