As a computer consulting firm specializing in Microsoft Access, we understand the critical role that performance plays in your daily operations. Recently, we’ve encountered a significant issue affecting clients using Microsoft Access on Windows 11 version 24H. This bug has led to noticeable slowdowns and performance degradation, impacting the efficiency of database applications.
The Issue
Clients running Microsoft Access on Windows 11 version 24H have reported severe performance issues. These problems manifest as slow query execution, lagging user interface, and overall sluggishness when interacting with the database. Interestingly, clients who are still on Windows 11 version 23H do not experience these issues, indicating that the problem is specific to the 24H update.
The Solution
After thorough investigation and testing, we have identified a workaround that significantly improves performance. The solution involves disabling the “Suggested Actions” feature in Windows 11 System Settings. Here’s how you can do it:
- Open Settings: Press Windows + I to open the Settings app.
- Navigate to System: Click on “System” in the left-hand menu.
- Go to Clipboard: Scroll down and select “Clipboard.”
- Disable Suggested Actions: Toggle off the “Suggested Actions” option.
By disabling this feature, you can alleviate the performance issues and restore the responsiveness of your Microsoft Access applications.
Similar Issues with Copying Records
In addition to the general performance slowdown, there have been reports of Microsoft Access freezing when copying records. This issue has been particularly problematic for users who frequently need to duplicate data within their databases. The root cause appears to be related to the same “Suggested Actions” feature in Windows 11[1].
For more details on this specific issue, you can refer to the discussion on Access Forever[2].
Conclusion
While the Windows 11 version 24H update has introduced some challenges for Microsoft Access users, the workaround of disabling “Suggested Actions” provides a viable solution. We recommend all affected clients to implement this change to ensure smooth and efficient database operations. As always, our team is here to support you with any further assistance you may need.
