Access freezes when I copy a record

Windows 11 Office 365 Access Suddenly, when I copied a record in the database Access froze as if it didn't have enough memory. I tried compact and repair, repairing Office, uninstalling and reins...

Just to add
So (for me) All features of Access runs fine, only untill I copy/paste an Entire Field/Line ( I can c&p single fields without any issues ie: no crash. Tried many separate data backups same issue..

I installed this week's WIN 11 update. No change. Larger Access tables freeze when you copy or cut whole lines

Hi,

I have documented the bug in our new Access blog. An affected user has commented there that Access behaves normally again if he runs it as administrator. Perhaps this is a possible workaround for some of you here.

When you try it, then please report if it works for you or not, so that I can keep the article up to date.

  My work updated windows 11 on 3/22 which gave me the issue of not being able to copy a whole record in Access. I ran access as an administrator and the issue was resolved instantly. Whatever the bug is that causes this is still floating around.

  Karl_Donaubauer Yes indeed, the problem disappears completely when I run Access in administrator mode! Thanks and hopefully Microsoft will soon fix the Windows bug that causes the problem in the first place.
