After updating Access in Office 365 to version 2408, the MSACCESS.EXE process remains after exiting Access.

After applying the quality update for the latest channel (preview version) of Microsoft Access (64-bit), version 2408 (build 17928.20066) dated 8/14, the MSACCESS.EXE process won't end even after closing Microsoft Access application.

The reproduction steps are as follows:

  1. Create a form named Form1.
  2. On Form1, create a command button named Command1.
  3. In the Click event of Command1, write "Application.Quit".

Run the application, click Command1 on Form1 to close the application. Afterward, when you check the Task Manager, MSACCESS.EXE process won't end.

This issue does not occur in the 32-bit version. I believe this is a bug. Can you advise where I should report this?

Rolling back to version 2407 resolved this issue.

    I'm just wondering if Microsoft has acknowledged this issue or has a patch for this issue. I am having several computers having this issue with MS Access. I tried reporting this as an issue on our Admin Center but Microsoft in as typical responded to it as "No issue found".

    As several have suggested, the workaround that I've had to do was to roll back to version 16.0.17726.20126 and that seems to fix the issue. So it's definitely something messed up with this new update that Microsoft is refusing to acknowledge.

    I've seen this happen on the 32bit version of Office as well.

    Just installed 2408 Build 16.0.17928.20114 (32-bit) released August 26th, with no improvements.

    I have done a feedback within Office directly to MS.

    I'm having the same issue, plus it runs out of tables after a while of running, where it opens and closes recordsets properly.

    When I try to go back to the previous build, the update process is broken, so a full repair is needed to get the updates running again. Only this time it finds no new updates.
