Broken hyperlinks after Windows 10 and office 365 were re-installed

Hi Daniel,
Thank you for the advice, we will try this later.
Additionally, there's a Windows 10 update the computers want to install. In the past updates have caused problems (and the 2 computers for which the database hyperlinks work correctly do NOT have this update installed).
Would you recommend updating Windows 10?

You're asking the wrong guy!
From a purely technical standpoint, normally, you always want to install updates.
That said, with the reality of Microsoft Updates, FULL of bugs, it becomes very debatable. Personally, I advise my client's to disable updates completely. We find a relatively stable build, turn off updates, and then apply new updates once they've been out in the wild for a while and proven not to cause more issues than the claim to resolve.
In your specific case, if you've identified a specific update that is different between the PCs, then if mirror the good ones.
I'd also recommend you post the update details here so hopefully the dev team can be made aware there is another update causing problems for Access. You can also use the feedback button within Access itself to try and pass along such information (include your email address should they need to follow-up with you).

- It's been the owner's experience also that some updates cause problems. They were sticking with what appeared most stable and none of the 3 computers have had updates, though we will double-check to make sure.
