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. MS is blocking marcos. Check https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-365-blog/helping-users-stay-safe-blocking-internet-macros-by-default-in/ba-p/3071805

I have same issue, and partially resolved. Any chance you are using an AutoExec Macro that is opening a form. I have found that when the AutoExec macro that loads a form it caused me issues. I moved the form opening to the access settings level and I am able to open and reopen databases again. The background process does not go away, but the file locks do. Hope this helps while MS fixes this critical bug.

No.
Placing the Access file in trusted location fixed the issue for us.
Microsoft has now released the fix.
STATUS: FIXED
This issue has been fixed in Version 2201 (Build 14827.20192)
You can manually force an Office update to get the fix.
- I am seeing this issue again:
Yesterday I noticed I had 20 Microsoft Access processes running in background.
Happening on Version 2201 (Build 14827.20192)
I Just updated to Version 2201 (Build 14827.20198) and still happening.
I can reproduce reliably.
To reproduce: All I need to do is open a accdb file that has a form. Once you open a form. When you close MsAccess the background process appears and stays.
Wesport Read the contributions here and the Microsoft support article. The bug has been fixed for two days.
