New Install
I use the same 365 subscription on 3 other computers (2 Win10 pro and 1 Win11Pro) and have used them to build Access dbs for several years with no issues like this. I have updated the Bios and needed drivers before installing Access. No other Apps have been installed other than 365 Office.
Methods to open:
Open Access App and since it is a fresh install there are no recent files in history. From "New" tab I browse folders on my oneDrive. I select a db used often on my other 3 machines. Once selected from the folder (either dbl click or hit Open button) the folder/search window closes and focus goes back to the Access "open" screen with no other result. No history or open db in design screen.
From "New" tab I select new DB and a popup with path/name/create button appear. Create button results in return to "New" tab with same results as above. No difference if i rename or change the path to other than default. No difference if the selected db resides on oneDrive or local.
With Access App closed, I click on a Db file in any location. Access opens to the "Home" tab with no open files or history of recent.
There have been no error or msg popups with any of these actions. I have not tested other office apps extensively but Excel, Word, and Outlook work perfectly. All Access App options have been left in default settings. Access App resides "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\MSACCESS.EXE"
