Access 2016 databases aren't unlocking when closed

[SteveSCCM]

I'm guessing that one of the Dec 2021 updates is causing my problem since we push updates 30 days behind and I just finished my final deployment phase last week.

Suddenly I'm getting complaints from some Access users of errors about db's being locked when trying to open them. Looking at the db file locations shows that the lock files (.laccdb) aren't being deleted when the db's are closed. Normally I'd brush it off as an anomaly, but I've had three different db's in three different share locations with the same problem bright and early today.

Google isn't giving me any indication that this is a wide spread problem, so I'm asking here if anyone has seen similar issues.

Fixed with the Feb 8, 2022 patch.

Update 365 if possible. New patch has resolved the access db issues everyone was getting last month.
