Access doesn't close properly. A remaining background process can only be terminated in task manager
- Yes, here also the update available (Europe). Tested en fix the problem. Trusted Location not necessary any more. But I highly recommend it. Otherwise you will have problem starting from April.

Hi,
You are not alone. There are reports about it in all Access forums of the world. I answered it like this several times:
According to many posts in the last days M365 Current Channel version 2201 build 16.0.14827.20158 of Jan 26 causes
- a persistent .laccdb, an Access ghost process
- error 3048 cant open any more databases
- other errors like "already in use by Admin"
The only remedy so far is to revert back to an older build of M365. See also the M365 version history.
I've reported it to Microsoft, too.

Hi,
The Microsoft Access team has published a first version of a support article about this update bug: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/b2dce32b-b8b0-41f1-ba40-7876e524d9da
In it a fix is announced, but so far without a date. Until then, the workaround recommended is to put the database in a trusted location.

Hi,
Since we've seen a lot of positive reports about it and the trusted location is now also the officially recommended workaround by MSFT: In order to keep the thread readable, I think it would be good to especially post here when the workaround does NOT help or other new findings.

Access DevConSuggested workaround worked on Friday, not today. Only known "change" was a PC restart. Likely something else changed too, don't know. Tried removing and re-adding trusted locations, has not helped. Also don't know if we have AMSI enabled, have question in with IT.
UPDATE - Restarted PC, workaround again seems to be working. Makes very little sense to me.
