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?

    I've been following this for a long time and from my understanding of the issue so far the problem occurs when there is a network connection between FE and BE.

    Is it fair to say that this corruption issue does not occur where users are accessing the database via remote desktop where both BE and FE are on the same server drive?

    Could someone please clarify that point for me?

    Yes, this is an almost 2 year old bug.

    So, based upon the link, this is not a new update, but the one first introduced in the Spring of 2019, correct?

    It's a Windows 10 update that caused this issue.  If you check out https://www.devhut.net/2018/06/13/access-bug-database-is-in-an-unrecognized-format/ it seems it is caused by KB4100403.

    The issue has nothing to do with Access, Office, but they are sadly impacted by it.  The version, edition, bitness of Access makes no difference.  The only thing is that if you have a single Windows 10 PC using your db, then this becomes an issue.

    Do you know the update which caused the issue? Was it a security update or Office update?
