finally managed to track down what windows 24h2+ didn't like - it was a filter driver possibly dropped on by an old Adobe product - PxHlpa64.
why setup doesn't, you know, check for incompatible filter drivers first is beyond me, especially since there's no apparent logging at that point of boot.

well, i spoke too soon - 25h2 works fine, so long as i don't have AMD SVM enabled in the bios, good thing i'm not reliant on any kind of virtualization for what i do 🤦

microsoft, you have a problem.
so yeah, i finally upgraded to win11 - got up to 23h2 just fine, but trying to further is an endless loop of "Windows 11, version 25H2 is available. - Download & Install"
sometimes there's an error code, sometimes not.

Intuit's killing off ItsDeductible ... again ... dumb. One of the main value-adds to TurboTax for those of us that itemize is taking advantage of integrations like that. Without it, why bother with TT vs competitors or just paying a pro?
