Ive downloaded, deleted, and redownloaded Ufile2020.exe various times over the past month and tried to install on my desktop or my tablet (both running current Windows 10). Will not open or "Run as Administrator." A User since 2004, no prior issues in installations. Note: Dropdown under Ufile.exe "Properties" indicates, under "General" tab and "Description" heading..."Contact: Your Local Administrator". Download size is 72.3mb

Also, I've sent 3 emails to customer service regarding this and received no response whatsoever. Not even a generic responding email to acknowledge receipt of my enquiry (along with a transcript of the query), as many other customer inquiry websites do?


I have paid for the 4 Ufile for Windows 2020, received the activation code, but haven't heard from Ufile when the file is ready for download. I sent them an email but all I got was the request #. They used to be very responsive to people's queries but not this time, just wondering if the company is in financial problems. The worst scenario is lost of $20, not the end of the world.


I finally managed to get the install to work. Although my standard Windows 10 account has administrator privileges, the install did not work. I logged out of my standard ID and logged in using the Windows "Administrator" ID and the install worked. Looks like the install program is flawed if it won't install using a standard account.


After various workarounds, I did manage to get the Ufile2020.exe download on to my pathetic Windows 10 tablet that I have, and through that I was able (with limitations, see below) to install Ufile2020 to my Windows 10 Desktop. Not sure exactly why it downloaded onto the tablet this time, as it had not done so in prior attempts.


How did I then download to my Desktop??... I went back to my tablet and Dropboxed the now opened Ufile 2020 file folder to my Desktop, opened the Ufile2020.exe from within the folder and ran it. Ufile2020.exe did install onto my Desktop, and appears to be functional in "most" respects. To test it, I downloaded my 2019 Tax file info into Ufile2020, and filled in some data, which it accepted. I also tried to update the Ufile2020 program, but the Ufile2020 updater will not recognise the Ufile2020 file on my system, so it will not update (not that there was an update anyway). Not being a computer whiz, I relocated the Ufile2020 program to my Program Files (x86) where it shows up if I go into Program Files (x86) , but there is still no recognition in my system (e.g. nothing showing in Settings under Apps or Uninstall), although my older Ufile2019 does show). So I can run Ufile2020 on the Desktop, it is not recognized as installed in my Windows programming, and I surmise I may have further problems down the line if it is not recognized. Next step, dump everything, try reinstalling from opened Ufile2020 folder again.


Presently responding to 3 generic, "try these unrelated links", non-answer Ufile Support responses, all for the same subject, as I've sent 3 similar enquires over a month as they do not acknowledge or respond in a real world time frame (okay, my version of real world).


I too have paid for and downloaded the UFile 2020 program. Like most others, the exe file will not install on my Win 10 machine. I have sent numerous emails and had numerous phone conversations, even suggesting they refund my money if they can't fix it, and all I get is automated replies telling me to do what I have already done. This company has no right to be in business if this is the best they can do


Hi Graeme and all. I had no issues with downloading and installing the Windows version. I am not a tech person at Ufile but maybe I could help, maybe not. After the download was finished did you direct the install to be within the "Program Files (x86)" folder? Also is your firewall set to allow the program to be installed? It is always best to do the install as an Administrator. I use Google Chrome and the install was seamless. Sometimes there is a window popup that appears that requires consent based on various browsers. It appears that the majority of users have no issues so it may be related to settings that are specific to individual users systems.


I wrote earlier about the installation problem and am now happy to say I solved it. It seems all the protective software on my computer was either blocking part of the exe file coming in or else not recognizing it when I tried to run it from my downloads folder. So here's what I did:


Good afternoon everyone. I have found a workaround to get the UFILE2020 program installed without too much additional work. With the latest version of Windows 10, if you are logged onto Windows with your regular account (even though you may have administrator privileges), something is blocking the program from installing. To install it you need to log-on as the built-in Windows 10 administrator.


When you initially set-up Windows 10 on your computer, the administrator account is disabled, so you don't see it as a choice on the log-in screen. You need to activate the built-in administrator account. It is a pretty simple process.


Hey RandyD. Nice post. I had no issues with downloading and installing the program. I am using Windows 10 Pro. What Windows version are you using? That information might help other users. Earlier I posted that users should always install as an Administrator. There may be a problem with the Windows 10 Home version with popups blocking the install and a specific background registration file in the Windows 10 system files has to be disabled on each users system. That problem does not seem to exist on the Pro version. Just a thought.


It seems that there are issues with the online download veresion. In the past when you purchased the program, you got the CD to use. The installs were problem or issue free. I purchased mine online from Staples. I have now requested the CD to avoid using all the noted work arounds. I am old school when it comes to downloading Tax software.


I had exactly the same issue! Very frustrated. I tried the steps shared by RandyD, but "denied" when I tried to set the admin password. Then I found a similar article describing how to create an admin account and worked. After created the admin account, I was able to download and install UFile 2020!


RandyD's second instruction, opening up the command processor as administrator, is key to being able to add that Administrator logon. Once that has been set up and you've completed RandyD's procedures, everything works just fine.


However, what I really want to know is, why is this happening? The guys at UFile have suddenly gone quiet, as far as responding to emails goes (although not, of course, as far as selling new copies of the software is concerned). Their automated reply system to any email sent is useless, and my return email telling them how useless it is and asking for contact from a real live human being has gone unanswered. Maybe there are no human beings left at the company.


If my computer crashed last year and the ufiles were lost is there any way of retrieving them (the tax return figures). If I download the 2020 ufile again with my activation key will those files be there too or just the program


So every time I try to auto-fill, it goes to internet explorer which for some reason doesn't work. my computer is up to date and no updates pending. If I use the same site using any other browser, it works fine. I'm getting frustrated and about to call them to refund me my purchase. Who still uses an old outdated browser anymore? Is there a way to fix this?


When I use auto-fill, it starts IE, and everything looks good from the CRA website (login successful, etc.), but I get an error back in uFile after IE is done. [I have checked several times to make sure that uFile is up-to-date - and it is every time.]


In my case UFile starts Chrome, my default browser, I log into CRA account successfully, but autofill fails and UFile gives me an error message and suggests generic help. I tried numerous times and made sure that there are documents within my account at CRA (T4, T5, etc)


I hit the same error as well. I'm having Ufile 2020 on windows 10 using IE V11 browser. I tried to change my default browser to chrome or firefox, but all failed. Each time, it pops up a msg "Oops. something goes wrong! Do you want general help?....", I tried with other family member's ID, all the same. Not sure how to solve this?


I double checked default apps and Chrome definitely set as default. Also checked the registry and there is no setting for browser for UFile. As well I checked the UFile config files and they don't have a browser setting.


All settings seem to be coded into the UFile exe so this seems like a bug. My only thought is that my previous installations of UFile have set the browser as Internet Explorer and it carries into the latest installation.


Lucky you getting a reply from UFile Support. I sent 2 inquiries related to the auto filling service but have never heard anything from them. The season has just started but the software has been showing many bugs in addition to the poor customer support. I have used UFile for more than 10 years and the support was quite good in the past years.


My experience was that when I tried to auto fill on my desktop the message that I got was that there were other instances of IE running and that I needed to close them before the Ufile/CRA session could start. Interesting error since I do not have IE installed on that computer which is running Windows 10. Next I ran the auto fill on my Laptop, which has Windows 10 and has a version of IE, and it ran okay. Since Microsoft is abandoning IE, replacing it with Edge, the CRAs decision to limit the auto fill to IE seems to be very questionable.
