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?

    Sadly, there is no solution (yet) .  We have a couple workarounds, but 2 years in still no proper fix and not sure if we'll ever get one. You would have thought, erroneously, that such a catastrophic bug would have been priority no. 1 for Microsoft and addressed promptly, yet here we are 2 YEARS and waiting. I'm sorry to say that I've actually started migrating some of my clients away from Access at this point.  Things have become too unstable with Office and Access that they can no longer be counted on.  It's bug after bug, and no fixes leaving the developer holding the proverbial bag and looking incompetent in the eye of their clients.  And then Microsoft wonders why IT departments hate Microsoft Access, seriously !? 

    I used to track bugs on my blog and have given up because there are so many, that alone would be a fulltime job to do properly. 

    Sorry about the rant, but just tired of the same old, same old from Microsoft. 

    Something seriously needs to change internally at Microsoft.

    Daniel  -  Every week I deal with a couple of these and have to defend my credibility.  As it stands I'm awaiting approval on a contract to assist in migration of my software currently in use at a large number of police academies and agencies that track LE training down to a micro level; something of more significance today than ever.  I don't think Microsoft understands the scope and sophistication of the applications that we developers are creating in Access and their importance.  Perhaps they think we are all just doing Northwind?
