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
NiteOwl adding the trusted location worked, amazing thank you so much. Will MS subsequently do another patch to undo their damage?
Hi,
Meanwhile, I've seen more reports that putting the database in a Trusted Folder would help. So, anyone who has problems with build 16.0.14827.20158 could try this and please report if it helped for you too. That way we can determine how generally applicable this workaround is, as various errors/problems caused by this build have been reported.
BTW If you only have the Runtime and/or don't want to write reg scripts etc. you can also use the small tool AddPath2016.exe from Gunter Avenius to define a Trusted Folder.

Karl_Donaubauer I added the folder containing the accdb and that solved the issue.
- Unfortunately, mde/accdes are equally impacted by the bug.
try to save the database in mde
Adding my database files to the Trusted Location (though successful) did NOT solve my problem with Microsoft Access failing to close completely when I exit Microsoft Access. Also, .ldb files remain undeleted. I must use Task Manager to shutdown Access, then manually delete the stuck .ldb files, and only then will my database restart and run "normally for a while" before glitches reoccur, and I just go through all of these steps again. Yes I did check "allow network folders". This all started for me on-or-about February 2, 2022. I am using Microsoft Office 2016 and 2019 on three machines. All three machines are affected in exactly the same way.
Thank you for your contribution to this forum.
Hi all,
the trusted folder entry works perfectly with my databases, too. It is necessary to add the folder of the front end, though! (By the way: The tool of Gunter Avenius - cf. above - makes it very easy! Thanks)
THANKS VERY MUCH, FOLKS !!! I appreciate this active community very much!Karl_Donaubauer Same here. Adding the database folder to trusted locations seems to work. In my case it is a UNC path.
