We have an application which was working okay till last month. But after the last windows update our clients are getting issues with access database. access database got corrupted.  We ran compact and repair. But it still getting corrupted again and again.  This issue started right after the window update. clients are on different OS. Like server 2018, server 2012 and windows 10.

Is there anything i have check in new windows update or any other step to prevent database corruption?

    Thanks for the clarification David.  Yes I agree that in large organisations that the IT dept has control over what patches can be applied to both clients and servers but in most cases if they are not willing to apply a client side fix that has little or no side effects, they will not be willing to apply any fix to a shared server where there are known side effects.

    I just think it should be made clear in this thread that the Client side fix does in fact work when applied to all Win 10 clients and getting IT depts to apply it is much easier than getting them to apply any server side "fix".

    I believe this all surfaced with Windows 10 update KB4100403.

    So with each update, you have to reapply the registry fix after the update and hope it'll still work ?

    Does anyone have an idea which Windows 10 builds are affected by this issue?

    As I recall, this issue started with a specific update.

    Only a few of our Windows 10 machines ever experienced this problem and after applying the fix to only those machines the problem has largely disappeared.

    Some of my clients had applied the registry fix and were stable for a while but it appears that the last Windows 10 update may have reversed that because suddenly I've been inundated with another rash of calls.
