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?

    Thanks for you reply,

    I won't hold my breath.

    Would not be so bad if all versions on WIndows 10 had the deferred update, I have a few Pro's & that's easy

    the Home versions were OK, I rolled back & been weeks since its tried to update but now every few days it auto updates.

    I have not been able to use wushowhide, perhaps just me but not got the chance.

    Am using the metered connection work around but I seem to remember there were reasons that this is not ideal, apart from having to manually check/install updates.

    When I have time I will try update and use the DisableLeasing patch but it did not feel right & not being around I could not afford to find it had side effect on the main PC which is still Windows 8.

    I wish there was more information on the effects of DisableLeasing in this instance on Windows 10 machines as well as Windows 8, for it to have such a dramatic effect fixing such a messy problem I can't help feeling there is more to it.

    Thanks again,

    I totally agree that MS should be ashamed of themselves but for a reality check think back to how long it took them to fix the broken scrolling in forms when they introduced that one a while back. From memory it was 3 months or longer so I'm not holding my breath on this one. They are worse than hopeless.

    This is crazy,

    Tried the DisableLeasing, the 2 PC were running slow, ages to start, lots of blank screens, did eventually load but really made me think what is going on, did not like the feel of this so rolled back again. It might have settled, I don't know, did at least 3 restarts but simply could not risk having the Main Win 8 PC behaving oddly as would be completely dead without it. Never got to really find out if this would work as i'm going away and can't risk the main Win 8 PC having issues so did not put disableleasing in the redg. 

    However now back in the position that I need to stop one PC from upgrading again, even though I rolled back last time it was 2 days before it installed again, this is **** madness.

    wushowhide I have not been able to use, the 1803 upgrade just happens, never been able to see it ready to install to tell it not to, I do read it does not seem to help anyway as MS intent on forcing this through.

    This delay feature should NOT be just something in Windows Prof. perhaps more important on the simple home variety.

    3 months after initial problem, surely they have a proper fix on the normal update.

    I am a non-tech small business, do not have a tech department to work on this while I'm away. 

    MS should be ashamed of themselves but we all know that.

    Had this problem months back, (nightmare waste of time) eventually worked out Windows so managed to roll back to 1703.

    I have avoided using the workarounds and rolled back each time

    However a few PC's have now updated to 1803 & even though rolled back, 2 days later it updated again so I am going to try & use the 1803 as I am going away & can't leave staff in this situation!!

    I have windows Home on a few PC's so can't easily prevent this update!!

    My most recent Windows 10 update still has the problem as of 13/8 so I DO NOT think any recent windows updates have helped.

    Going to try the disable leasing.

    My server PC does in fact run Windows 8, is is all the network PC's that run Windows 10 now,

    Just tested & it seems will need (not tried yet) to use disableserver on this windows 8 PC server as was corrupting.

    Whilst recommended, I was a little surprised as this server PC not being win 10, in all my testing before it was the client PC's on 1803 that caused the problems, the server always stayed the same.

    Not yet tried on server PC as tied up for a while but will report back.

    We also applied the official Workaround on our Server 2016 and windows 10 stations. after te workaround the databases are working without any problem.
