Microsoft does not support the side-by-side installation of 32- and 64-bit Microsoft Office or their dependent components. "You cannot install the 64-bit version of Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 because you currently have 32-bit products installed." Reinstalling the "Microsoft Access 2016 database engine" only works temporarily, as Windows notices the missing update and reinstalls it if necessary.When installing the 64-bit Access Database Engine on your machine that is running 32-bit Microsoft Office (2007, 2010, or 2013) and you get an error message:

In this thread other affected people report, where the access to the Access database from applications hangs.

I had reported in the blog post Microsoft Office Updates (March 1, 2022) about the patch, which is only available for the MSI installation versions of Microsoft Office. Microsoft Office 2016 update KB5002160 – released on March 1, 2022, fixes an issue where a custom application can crash if you use more than one protocol to connect to Microsoft Access or other Office data (for example, Object Linking and Embedding, Database (OLEDB), Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), or Data Access Objects (DAO)).
