I'm using the Access 2010 runtime for some applications I support. These applications run fine under Windows 10 but when I run them under Windows 11 the MSAccess executable still runs in the background when I quit the application using DoCmd.Quit. I've noticed that this happens any time a form is open that runs any VBA code. Is this a know issuer with Windows 11? I've seen similar issues with Office 365 but this is with the runtime version.
To add an update to this, I've now tried the following:
Created a database with a two button opening form. - still resident when hitting File->Exit.
Repaired Access 2010 Runtime - same result
Updated Windows 1 with latest updates - same result.
Installed and tested with Access 365 runtime - same result.
Am I the only one having this problem?
Bill, I have the same issue. Exiting Access (I use Access 365 / Access 2016), leave the msaccess.exe process running and I must close it using Task Manager. It does not matter how I exit Access, the result is the same. In Windows 10, I have no issues.

Are you calling DoCmd.Quit in a Form (or with a Form opened) with a OnClose sub which queries records in the database?
In my case: A Button on 'Mainform' triggers DoCmd.Quit, but I had some code in the OnClose sub writing logout details to the database. This worked fine on Windows 10, on Windows 11 the DB would not close.
Adding
DoCmd.Close acForm, "Mainform"
before
DoCmd.Quit
did the trick.
Hi Pete
Your suggestion worked for me. Closing the program while any form is open, results in the .exe not closing. But if I close all open forms (in my case a hidden form, as well as navigation form), before the docmd.quit command, closed the program.
