MS Access 2000 on Windows 10 suddenly crashing anytime I try to add a listbox or combo box on a new form.

Question

Have been using MS Access 2000 on my Windows 10 computer without problems since windows 10 came out. Suddenly started having issue with existing database crashing and startup form failing to load (believed to have started after April 13, 2023 windows updates). Is not database corruption or database specific. I can take existing MDB file to another machine on flash drive and works fine. Have uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2000 repeatedly to no avail. I can get the same crash by creating a new database, create a new form and then try to add either a listbox or a combo box onto the form. It will begin to show the outline of the new listbox or combo box and then hang for a few seconds before access closes altogether. Event log view reports the following:
Faulting application name: MSACCESS.EXE, version: 9.0.0.3822, time stamp: 0x38b692f2 Faulting module name: MSACCESS.EXE, version: 9.0.0.3822, time stamp: 0x38b692f2 Exception code: 0xc000041d Fault offset: 0x00088526 Faulting process id: 0x620 Faulting application start time: 0x01d974af51b794d6 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE Report Id: 51aa3ebd-5db2-45ff-a976-02a513c65bb0 Faulting package full name: <event log viewer entry ends abruptly here>

Hi,

In the last weeks I have seen 2 threads where it helped to add the (Access 2000) msaccess.exe as an exception in the Data Execution Prevention (DEP).
