Lost 'Publish and Distribute'

[DNewman]

Access 2010, Windows 10
I have been regularly using 'Publish and Distribute' to create a runtime instillation to distribute. Suddenly that option is no longer available in 'Save and Publish'!!
I have tried re-downloading AccessRuntime.exe and reinstalling but I still only have the option to publish to 'Microsoft Services'.
Any ideas - to stop me pulling my hair out.

are you saying you can no longer see the 'save database as' option?

Runtime is now included as standard if you choose the package and sign option so not sure of the relevance of downloading runtime

Um, I am now floating in uncharted waters! When I select the package and sign it simply tells me that no digital signature is available. There is then no option to continue with packaging.

What puzzles me is that I was using the publish and distribute option a few weeks ago and have not upgraded my access in any way.

may have been an office update.

When I click package and sign I see this

which I can click OK and save the file as .accdc

Suggest google/bing 'install trusted certificate' or similar

Many thanks. I have solved the problem by reinstalling add-ins which include the Package Wizard and the option I have been using has now returned!

Its the "Mandela Effect".
