Hi Daniel,
I want to discuss this issue here because, I never get this type of error.
I saw many forums about this error, many experts says it is a bug. Now the question is; user only get this error in Windows 10?
I don't think so. Can it be related to corruption?

Hello Daniel
I developed 4 ms access applications and spreaded the front end to users. From time to time I face the error (unrecognizable database format). I unplug the network and then backup and then restart my server. Then I compact and repair the database and then relinking the tables from the front end before sending it out again to users. In my opinion this error could possibly happen due to the difference between Microsoft access and windows version. I started to make users PCs as the serever to get More compatibility. All windows 10 and All Microsoft office 2016. I still have few PCs to change and hopefully this could possibly be more helpful. Anyway I'll share my experience.
