TaxCalc will not update as it says the PC is Windows XP but it is not

Article ID: 2771
Last updated: 12 Mar, 2018

In some situations a Windows PC may not allow TaxCalc to be installed as it claims that it is running on XP, although the computer is running Windows 7 or later.

This will happen if the TaxCalc application is running in compatibility mode for XP. While this situation is unusual it is easily resolved.

  • Right hand click on the TaxCalc icon
  • Choose properties
  • Go to the Compatibility tab and untick the Windows XP compatibility option
  • Save this change, and close the window
  • Start TaxCalc and run the update as normal from the notifications option

While there is no reason this option should be set, TaxCalc have seen this on a very small number of computers attempting to run the late 2017 update.
