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?

    No, nothing whatsoever.

    Either revert/uninstall the update that causes the problem, apply the workaround or live with the continual corruption.  Those are the options at this point in time.

    I installed a synology nas at our problem location to host the backend of our database. Works like a charm now for about a week. All computers running 1809.

    We are suddenly (starting last week) experiencing this issue as well.

    The back-end database file is stored on server running Windows Server 2008 R2. Is there a workaround for this server version?

    The only workaround (not fix) is the registry hack and it applies to all versions, or at least Microsoft hasn't given any indication anywhere that it doesn't apply to all versions/OSes.

    https://support.office.com/en-us/article/access-reports-that-databases-are-in-an-inconsistent-state-%ef%bb%bf-7ec975da-f7a9-4414-a306-d3a7c422dc1d?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US

    You run it on all PCs involved (front-end and back-end computers)

    The question in my mind is "will this ever be fixed?". That workaround was posted 7 months ago and still the bozos at Microsoft seem to either have no clue on how to fix the problem or they aren't interested. These are the only 2 possibilities that come to mind that could account for the fact that it hasn't been addressed. It absolutely beggars belief. :(
