- 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.

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.
