Try installing the latest software updates for Windows. If this does not work, try removing all the temporary Internet files to resolve the. Hi, teach Computer Applications Theory to high school children. We have 74 workstations (Windows 10) in a MS domain. I have a problem with Access. Access crashes and slow performance feedback directly to our Office teams. In Office on Windows 10, open an Office app, and click File > Feedback.
 
 

Access 16 running slow on high spec PC (64 bit) – Microsoft Community

It is only when I try to open an Access file by double clicking it in the Windows Explorer list, or when selecting it from right-click on the task bar that it takes ages to open. One way takes 2 seconds the other ways can take up to 2 minutes, and never less than 20 to 30 seconds. I have a feeling it is a Windows problem, in which case totally reinstalling windows clean , as you suggest, is probably the answer. Re the laptop use for DB development, I have never found this to be a problem, as most of my clients use a laptop or small screen device some of the time, so I tend to format all of my systems for that format.

It just means that when they use larger displays, the have a lot of spare space on the right. I do also use an attached display on my laptop in my office, so that helps.

What sort of systems do you develop? Mine are all small-business related; marketing, invoicing, production control, purchase orders, etc. I don’t think it’s the anti-virus, as I have 4 laptops configured in identical manner: same Windows 10, same Office , same Anti-virus.

Only one of the laptops has the problem I am describing. If all four laptops have the same Win10 build and Access C2R version, then it must be some Windows setting that’s different, e. Are you sure all four laptops have the same Windows and Office updates installed? I agree – I think it is a Windows problem too. If I open MS Access program first and then select a database file to open, it opens from there immediately 2 – 3 seconds , but if I try to select and open an Access DB by selecting it from the Right-Click of the Task-Bar Icon list, or by double-clicking the file in the Windows Explorer list, it take more than 30 seconds to open – sometimes up to 5 minutes.

As I understand it, the first two methods are Office actions, whereas the second two methods are Windows actions. And, yes, all 4 laptops are using the same version and build of Windows Home fully updated and they are all using the same version of MS Office all downloaded from the same MS Account , so they too are identical and fully updated.

They quickly said it was Office not Windows problem and sent me back to Office, who sent me back to Windows, who then gave up completely I was at Level 3 support by then and told me to ask my question in this community forum. So, far, no useful answers Note that in the above process, Office and Windows were both completely reinstalled and configured on my problem laptop, but the problem persisted. Hmm okay, have you checked the windows file associations?

Notice that your two ways that open fast is because Office C2R was already launched and active, whereas your other two are slow because the C2R application virtualization is not active launched. I dont use any C2R Office versions because they are slow and constantly sending telemetry to Microsoft, so I have no way of reproducing your issue.

Have you tested your slow methods with and without internet connection? In your shortcut, try using the full path of msaccess. I am also experiencing this issue, wherein if I open the. Made me frustrated resulting to format my PC and started fresh and go through installation hell! After installing all my essential application for works and tried again opening the.

So O added android emulator for my gaming pleasure, while gaming with my android emulator I will try to lessen my emulator cpu usage and will check if it would fix the problem if im using. I am having exactly the same problem. I recently bought a new alienware computer running office My accdb files now take 10 seconds to open now compared to 1 second on my old pc. This only happens when I open the database from the accdb file or right click the shortcut menu.

If I open access first then open the same file from the Access open file menu, it opens in 1 second. If I save the accdb as a accde it then opens in 1 second. It happens on all the accdb files regardless if they run on the C drive only, or a split database with the backend on a server. I have tried reinstalling and disabling antivirus. What emulator are you using? The problem that I am having is similar but not exactly identical.

The issue occurs on my laptop even if I have rebooted and not run BlueStacks at all. My specific occurrence of this issue is as follows: I open an existing Access Database using Explorer and double-clicking on the database file and the database opens rapidly.

However, if I open a subsequent Access Database using the same method, I have never tried opening from within Access because I thought it would close the already open database it can take extremely long to open. For instance, I am currently waiting over 26 minutes for the second database to open.

At first, I thought the second database might have gotten corrupted somehow a common Access “thing” but if I open the second database FIRST, it opens rapidly. The issue doesn’t seem to be sp[ecific to any particular database but more of a “first one to be open is fine” and “any subsequent database to be opened is a victim of whatever is going on here. I have not reinstalled Windows on this laptop but I see others have tried that without success anyway. I have reinstalled Office but like the others before me, no success in obtaining a resolution to the issue.

Reading through this thread I noted that the original problem for the poster was that he experienced different speeds opening an Access Database depending on the method used to do so. I tried opening Access first, then opening the database from within Access. The first time around, it did what I expected which was that it closed the current database and opened the second one as the only one. I then opened a new instance of Access from the Start Bar and opened the second database from the new instance while the first instance still had the first database open.

My second database opened immediately. So for me, the issue is now resolved but it does seem odd that “how you open a database” makes a difference in performance when no other Office product has that same issue. For example, opening multiple Word, Excel, Publisher, or PowerPoint files from Explorer doesn’t seem to have a performance hit yet Access seems to experience a very serious performance hit.

The first point I wanted to mention is that I would have to install the entire Microsoft Office bit suite of application, rather than just Access.

I selected the bit Office version and started installing it. After researching this error, I did some more research just to determine that I had to uninstall the bit Microsoft Office suite before installing the bit versions. So, I proceeded to uninstall the Microsoft Office bit version from my PC, then reinstall the bit version.

This failed again. At least the error message was better this time. The error message said that I still had some Microsoft Office program on my PC and had to install it.

I realized now, that this had to be my version of Microsoft Visio that I had purchased using a second Microsoft account. This worked successfully! I tried Microsoft Access bit and I had the exact same performance issues as with the 32 bit version.

So, this did not fix the issue. First, I did the procedure mentioned in the document to tune the ClearType Text. This had no effect on the performance problem.

Next, I checked my video drivers, as the document recommended. They all had the latest drivers and my video card did not have any settings that I could adjust. So, this had no effect on the performance problem. I did. I did some testing and determined that the issue seemed to primarily resolve around the refreshing of the property windows in Access when in design mode on object. You could clearly see the property window slowly refresh whenever you clicked on an object.

I only had a couple of Access tables in my database. Some sources mentioned that you should have any connected printers turned on when using Access. I turned on my printer. One source, mentioned that they had problems with Trusteer Endpoint Protection when running Access. Trusteer Endpoint Protection is an anti-phising software commonly given away free by banks to their customers to use.

I had installed this software a few years ago. So, just on a whim, I turned the Trusteer Endpoint Protection off.
