I've run into a problem recently where sometimes timers in Microsoft Access forms stop working, having been fine for ages. It seems to be related to some kind of disruption of the host PC where the Access programs are running. In order to get them working again I have to restart the PC.
The scenario affects all currently open instances of Access where there are form timers active (four instances in this case).
Has anyone any ideas of how I might investigate what might be happening on the host PC (running Windows 10) that could break Access form timers?
The problem does make me wonder how Access works with the OS to control its timers.
TIA
It turns out this was down to vendor loaded software causing disruption to the Windows and Office system.
