Access doesn't close properly. A remaining background process can only be terminated in task manager
- Yes, here also the update available (Europe). Tested en fix the problem. Trusted Location not necessary any more. But I highly recommend it. Otherwise you will have problem starting from April. MS is blocking marcos. Check https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-365-blog/helping-users-stay-safe-blocking-internet-macros-by-default-in/ba-p/3071805
Hi,
They happen automatically but as Microsoft has to send them out to many millions of customers they must deliver it gradually. So, it usually takes 1-2 days for the updates to be rolled out everywhere. That's why I inform people bitten by the bug that they can request it actively and immediately with "Update now" in Access.

- I'm new to this Microsoft Tech Community, a made a post else where last week but got no response? so I will post here in the hopes someone will see this. I'm having major problems with the forced windows 11 upgrade. software in need to run will not run. I reverted back but it's still trying to force the upgrade and I can only delay if for a time? Help Anyone??
Jlorbz 100% with you! FIRST they broke the creation/population of the temp file functionality at the end of Dec and then broke the functionality of the temp file again early last week. It affected all of my mission critical apps and literally 100s of peoples access to important databases. I am so angry and let down with Microsoft for doing this. I do understand the complicated integrated relationship of all these apps with the operating system but to release a version that blatantly breaks the intrinsic functionality of this application is completely inexcusable. I am still shocked and angry that they could have let this happen...twice!
Wesport Totally agree
I had just settled in for a long weekend battle to see why this was suddenly happening to my project.
In 158 I was literally using up database connections by requerying data. This could not have been tested before release! It's unacceptable, really. People are building mission critical apps in Access.
MS releases updates that break Access like this it makes both Access and me look bad to my group.
It's an awful feeling to be on a large Teams (or Zoom) meeting, looking at data together with a group and some people start crashing or getting unexpected errors because of these situations.
- With you on this. I can't tell you how many times I have put an Access application in place for an interim fix that turned out to be permanent. The list of alternatives on that list don't even come close.
- Absolutely true. I discovered Access back in 1994 when I went on my own and 28 years later I call it my one only business partner. I built my business on Access. I am so grateful.
isladogs LOL, so true. People just want to kill Access! I also find people are always putting down Access, especially tech people that have never developed or implemented an Access app. It's laughable. I have over 50 mission critical apps I've been managing for 2 decades and I never have any problems. I rapidly continue development so quick and easy...and fun. Users love it because I can literally create anything they need. I'm so happy I know the wonderful secret about how great Access is but concerned that no one else seems to understand how relevant it is, especially as I near retirement age. Here's a good thread on the crazy topic: https://www.comparitech.com/net-admin/microsoft-access/#comment-406783
- I use the phrase 'urban myth' to describe the endless false stories about MS planning to scrap Access. They have been circulating since Access 1.0 was released back in 1992
