Database connection issues sql developer 20.2

DeeTeeAklAug 20 2020 — edited Sep 23 2020

Hi,

I have recently migrated to a new windows 10 laptop.  I installed the latest Sql Developer version and hooked it up to Java JDK 1.8.0_261.  I have set the advanced options to use Oracle Client (using instaclient 1.6) and OCI/Thick Driver. 

Basically Sql Developer cant seem to hold a database connection.  I connect, run a query get results, and then I get a message about reconnecting.  This is bad enough but now, if I dont run any sort of query for just a few minutes, Sql developer loses the connection and just spins trying to reconnect.  I cant close the tool normally so I go to task manager and kill the process.  I start sql developer back up and it connects without issue and the query runs fine ... and round we go again.

Any thoughts, suggestion, offerings of emotional support welcome!
