Fix Windows 10 1803 Frontend - Backend corruption issues
We have some databases with a split front end (stored on local computer) and backend (stored on a server mapped via relative path) using Access 2016 (build 9126.2259). Since upgrading many computers to Windows 10 1803 the backend database constantly becomes corrupt. We have to disable the three caches referenced in the article linked below in order for the corruption to stop, but this makes file server operations much slower while also causing unnecessary network traffic. We never had this issue on Windows 10 1703.

Wie kann es sein, dass die Weltfirma microsoft einen Fehler, welcher durch ein Update entstanden ist innerhalb von 3 Jahren nicht beheben kann??

How can it be that the global company microsoft cannot fix a bug that was caused by an update within 3 years? -

I believe this is the same issue as is discussed in this link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/access-reports-that-databases-are-in-an-inconsistent-state-7ec975da-f7a9-4414-a306-d3a7c422dc1d?ui=en-us&rs=en-us&ad=us
(There have been SO many Access issues that I've gotten them confused in my head.)
Their last update July 9, 2020, states that the fix they had planned led to other problems, so they are "continuing to work on the problem". -

Are there any updates for this issue? It says planned by admin for 2.5 years now.

Es ist unerträglich, wie Microsoft mit seinen Kunden umgeht. Ist man denn schon derart abgehoben, selbst gemachte gravierende Fehler auf Kosten derer, die auch noch dafür zahlen, zu manifestieren? Das ist keine Bagatelle, handelt endlich!

For me as a developer of around 200 Access / VBA database and software solutions and my small and large customers, what Microsoft is listing is an absolute disaster! It takes such a long time to solve such a serious problem is not acceptable!

Right, if I leave Access and move on to mysql, there is no reason to stay in MS Wolrld.
Was a good time, but the end is near! -

That this serious bug remains unsolved is a catastrophe but typical for the non-customer oriented attitude of MS

What could be more clear: NO ONE at MS cares about users getting work done. I saw this years ago and moved on to MYSQL, Python, PHP and Linux.
I have one last client in MS and Access - thus the reason I'm here -We need to make it clear to MS (if anyone there cares) that as we leave Access we leave all of MS -
Perhaps this will motivate them to act as if they care - -

So, in discussions here and on other sites, and with others who have this problem, there does not seem to be a one size fits all solution. However, everyone, so is in agreement this problem is fairly clear.
But for the sake of clarity, was it Win 10 1803 or 1809 when it broke?
And it does not seem to be different in 32 bit or 64 bit.
The versions of Access effected are:
All?
1997?
2003?
2007?
2010?
2016?
365?
Also, 32 and/or 64 bit?
I know this is repition for some of you, but I'd like to get this as clear as possible for this reason:
I WOULD LIKE THE CONTRACT PROGRAMMER WORLD TO REALIZE THERE IS A LARGE OPPORTUNITY FOR A SOLUTION TO A HUGE PROBLEM. BY POSTING THIS HERE AND ON SEVERAL OTHER BLOGS THAT CONCERN THIS ISSUE, I HOPE TO INSPIRE EXPERT CONTRACTORS TO BRING AN EXPERT SOLUTION TO THIS MARKET. PERHAPS, IF IT IS GOOD ENJOUGH, MAYBE MICROSOFT WILL PURCHASE IT AND INCLUDE IT IN THEIR EVENTUAL SOLUTION.
Millions of MS Access databases have been effected by this and so have the programmers, contract or in-house, who have developed these time & labor saving applications.

I wish that this problem would be worked on with the highest priority, because this is extremely damaging to the reputation of Access.

As a small developer for large companies with more than 200 database solutions developed in the past 20 years, it is absolutely incomprehensible to me how Microsoft has not been able to solve such serious problems over such a long time. I am very satisfied with Access, but unfortunately not at all with the way Microsoft solves problems.

Planned October 17, 2018 Are you guys for real?! You could have written a completely new software in this time period and still no fix.

I know I'm just venting, because Microsoft is "well aware of the issue", but holy cow, this is ridiculous. 15+ months and the problem is still happening? We have lost clients over the last year because of Microsoft's update fiascos. And the craziest part is that those fiascos keep happening. New update = new problem and new calls from clients who blame us. Even when we can get them to understand that it's Microsoft, not us, it doesn't matter, because that doesn't solve the problem. I'm so very tired of this crap.

NO ONE at MS gives a damn about users getting work done. This has been obvious for decades now - this CF being just one small example. I'm stuck in this junk now- but be advised MS, I never NEVER use MS products for any new work. MS is an attack on user productivity - but thank god we see MS becoming ever less vital to computing year by year as we all run screaming. Someday I hope to see them gone.

This has just started to be an issue with one of my clients. One of those who had the 3340 error 2 weeks ago.
Seriously... is there any effort being made to address this?

@Access Team: Can you please give some insight into the underlying problem and the status of the resolution you are working on. It has now been over a year, and although we have been able to mitigate the problem somewhat, this is still a very very serious problem. If the problem persists my superiors (company directors) will choose to move away from MS Access and all other Microsoft products due to the unreliability and Microsofts inability to resolve problems within an acceptable timeframe.
The main symptom of the problem is: Error 3343 Unrecognized database format.
But I am guessing that the following two errors are probably also due to the same underlying problem:
Error 3035 System resource exceeded.
Error 3040 Disk I/O error during read.The recent Error 3340: Query <query name> is corrupt, gives my superiors more ammunition for ditching all Microsoft products. Fortunately, we were able to avoid a major disaster by disabling updates for Office, but (to my superiors) it seems Micosoft is losing control or just doesn’t care. Please help me prove my superiors wrong and fix these problems.
Thanks,
Hans -

We urgently need help for our company from Microsoft. If not, we have to change our software systems.

It looks like the development team aren't in much of a hurry with this (or have sorted it and not told us). This has been waiting for a whole year now.

Does Office 2019 or Windows 10 1809 fix any of this?
