Spinning circle when double-clicking on Access database.
For about two months I have been experiencing an intermitting problem when double-clicking on an Access database to open it or left- clicking and right-clicking on open to open an Access database. I get the blue spinning circle, and the database will not open. I can restart the computer and then it will work again. Also, I can start Access, use open and browse for the database and it will open. This only seems to be happening with Access. I use a Lenovo T15 running Windows 10. Has anyone experienced this problem and if so, is there any solution?
