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
Hi,
Since this problem has been occurring extremely often recently and is being discussed in various forums, we published a documenting AFo article and drew Microsoft's attention to it. Microsoft's Access team is currently investigating the problem. We will update the article as soon as there are any new developments.

Hi,
Today we could make an important update to our documenting article when Microsoft informed us that they are planning a fix for the next Office update to version 2405, which will be released in about 2 weeks.
Let's hope that all variants will be fixed with it. Testing this will then be the job of those affected.Servus

Access-Entwickler-Konferenz AEK- Hi Karl,
Installed version 2405 when it came out and Access closed normally. I disabled further updates. Some time later, feeling over confident, I unblocked updates and things fine for a while, and then unexpectedly, about three days ago the problem returned. I am running version 2408 Build 17928.20114 and can confirm the report of LeanardC1795 that the problem has returned. I plan to roll back to a previous version using your Method 1 at https://www.accessforever.org/post/roll-back-to-previous-versions-of-office. Hope roll back works! Sorry, I have no idea what the issue with version 2408 is.
- Karl: Special thanks to you for drawing the many aspects of this problem together and initiating a solution. Also, a tip of the hat to lsadogs and the many others who have helped trace the source to something reproducible. Let's hope this is the lead, MS needs to put a stake in the heart of the zombie so never emerges in any of the other circumstances Karl has curated. Got my fingers crossed!
Just for clarification, for complicated reasons, my replies are listed as @Isladogs or @MendipDataSystems depending on which workstation I reply on! I'd love to be able to sort that out!
Karl wrote the article based on the evidence of various people here and other forums. The most important thing was being able to reliably reproduce at least one cause - in this case the Ease Of Access text cursor indicator which was first reported by CampDirector and later confirmed by several of us
