Extension stuck on activating

Davor MaricOct 16 2025

Hi,

occasionally the extension is unable to start, it gets stuck on “Activating Oracle SQL Developer Extension for VSCode”.

I narrowed the problem to lost/changed permissions on connection folders inside DBTools\connections\

If I just open that folder so to regain permissions, everything works fine.

Using VS Code 1.105.1 extension version is 25.3.0 on Windows 11 24H2.

Why do my connection folders loose permissions (it does happen occasionally)?

Best regards,

Davor
