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 must have misunderstood your posts. I thought you said you had been running on an .accdb front end db and a back end .mdb successfully for the past couple months, without data corruptions.
Daniel,
What exactly does the client registry fix do, and why does it resolve this Access database corruption issue ? Before I recruit a tech with admin rights and we proceed to update 40-ish client laptops, I want to have some assurance this fix will work.
Let me know - Thank,
George
Hi Paul,
Before the COVID-9 lockout, I moved my backend db to another folder, and things were going fine for a few months with no data corruption issues. However, when we all went remote and relied on our VPN connection, the daily corruption issues came back, which is what I'm dealing with currently. It certainly is a mystery.
So it looks like my choices are client registry fix, disable leasing on the backend server, roll back to Access 2013 on all client laptops/frontend/backend db's or convert the backend db to another platform, unless I'm missing any other options ? I'm assuming MS is still AWOL on this issue, correct ?

Hello All
Corrupt files.
My problems with corrupt files started after de-installing Office 2019 with only one user licence.
I have other priorities before attending to this problem again.
I accessed my *.accdb fils via USB-Stick on my old windows 8 computer.
Everything works.
My files are not corrupt.
The fault is my access on my Win10 computer.
I suspect the database engine is the problem
I hope this helps
Bye
Thanks Hugo.
