Access doesn't close properly. A remaining background process can only be terminated in task manager
Since yesterday I noticed that in all my Access databases there is a problem when I close them. When I close a database, it leaves a background process that can only be terminated in Task Mana...
- 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.

We are experiencing this same behavior in Version 2207 now, and no possible Trusted Folder/File combination fixes it... I confirmed it has nothing to do with any code updates by opening a version from May that worked just fine previously that exhibited the same behavior of leaving a ghost process.
I have just started experiencing the same in 2209 (Build 15629.20208 Click-to-run 32 bit).
At first, I thought it was my project.
However, I can create a brand new accdb file and add a form, which will then open and close without issue. As soon as I whack a button on said form and save it, I get the issue. Access removes the lock file on close, but leaves the process open.
