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?

    FYI, ACCDB files don't make any difference.  I only distribute .accdb files and this issue affects my users.

    I agree  totally  - what we need in Microsoft is someone like Steve Ballmer who realises it is all about convincing Developers that Microsoft are a company worth investing our efforts in. Hopefully someone will take this  seriously and fix it otherwise Windows 10 and its successor will be forever suspect.

    Thanks Gina. We haven't tried using the ACCDB to see if that helps.

    Shane, I find it almost unbelievable that you aren't able to reproduce this. This issue has been causing many people major issues for many months and and all you have to report is that you can't reproduce the issue? Hard to believe to be honest.

    I'll second that.  I've had six agencies (clients) who have had this issue and a possible seventh cropped up on Monday.  This reflects badly on us as developers as the users put the blame on us even though our applications have been running problem free for years up until this bug has  appeared.  It may not seem like a big deal to Microsoft but it's a big deal to those of us supporting applications who keep government and businesses up and running.  

    We've had to fight hard enough to be taken seriously when using Access to solve problems - don't make this more difficult.  The majority of my clients are law enforcement academies with small budgets and the testing/training management systems I supply are affordable and effective.
