Hey there,

We are experiencing the same major slowdown of our Access databases. 

Continuous forms appear to be the main culprit. We are experiencing a roughly ~6-10 second delay upon opening, and they appear to be repainting themselves several times over before finally settling. Other forms suffer a similar startup delay, but function with negligible performance loss after loading. 

Waiting to revert back to the previous version to confirm on our end.

      Good to hear.  I wonder what the mechanism is to report the bug to MS.  Last time they broke Access for my clients was 2022 so that's pretty ok.  Still stressful though.
