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?

Did you try rolling back recent updates?
Are all your users all running the same version of Access? Which one?
Is your database properly split and each user given their own local copy of the front-end?
error 3343 unrecognized database format . Clients are getting it when they are using it.
Can you enter the exact text of the error message you are seeing, and when you see it (e.g. do you see it when opening the database, when closing the database, or while using the database)?

The appears to be some issue as there have been several recent posts relating to sudden issues with databases that previously ran fine.
Since you believe it is a recent update that is causing the issue (and it' tend to agree) have you tried reverting your installation to a previously problem free build?
