ODT for Visual Studio won't work after Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based S

user2706941Sep 19 2016 — edited May 23 2017

Hi All,

My Windows 10 has recently installed Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB3189866).

After this update, the ODT does not work. The error message I get is this:

Oracle Communication: Failed to connect to server or failed to parse connect string

I tried to reinstall ODT but it did not fix the problem.

Removing the update helps, but as this windows update is a security update, MS force installs it every day (what is totally understandable for a security update).

Do you have a better way to make it work than removing the Windows update?

Any help is really appreciated!

P.S.

I use ODT with Visual Studio 2015 update 3 and access the server via VPN.
