I am getting the error "Too many client tasks" when querying an Access database using ODBC after an April 2024 Microsoft update was applied, which was the update for Office 2016 KB5002340.
When I uninstalled that update, it's working well again. Is Microsoft aware of this, and will the fix be available soon?
I saw the below thread, but this seems to be the opposite problem, i.e. it was working and the Microsoft update last month caused it to stop working:

As always, at a minimum we need the exact version number and bitness of Access, odbc driver name and version number. What is your back-end database? What version is it at? -

2024-05-13T19:18:13.4133333+00:00 It's version 2302. But the database is saved and then placed on a different system where ODBC is used. That system is the one that was updated using KB5002340 from last month, then I started getting those messages. Once Microsoft Update KB5002340 was uninstalled, everything worked well again.

2024-05-13T19:20:51.67+00:00 The issue still exists and I think that avoiding Microsoft Update KB5002340 is not really a good solution. Perhaps for now, yes, but a new update should be released that resolves this problem.
