Notes
- I mentioned in the video that creating Trusted Locations was covered in Access Beginner 1. It's actually in Beginner 2, but that's a FREE video. Watch it.
- I haven't tested this, but some users online said that by turning off real-time virus protection and/or excluding the Access folders from being scanned, it fixed the problem for them. Obviously this is only a short-term fix until Microsoft releases a patch, but if your database is mission critical, you can go without virus scanning for a little while. Just don't download and install any new software on that machine.
- Windows Security > Virus & Threat Protection > Manage Settings >
- Real time protection - set to OFF
- Exclusions > Add all Access folders to list
- According to Microsoft, this bug has been fixed in the latest update. You may have to manually update, however. File > Account > Update Options > Update Now.
- This issue has been fixed in Version 2201 (Build 14827.20192)
