Right click produces wrong menu after windows update

Aleksander StoparJan 14 2019 — edited Mar 7 2019

Hi!

My workstation got updated to Windows 10 build 1809 and now the right mouse click behaviour changed and produces wrong menu; when clicked first it selects the item under the mouse cursor, then at second right click I get this menu. This is the menu I get with a right mouse click on anything (it shows always the same menu, regardless of what was clicked on):

Please note in the picture above mouse was positioned on the table TAB2 - that is not a correct menu to display.

I tried:

  • reinstall of SQLDeveloper for windows
  • separate install of JDK Java SE 8u191 and SQL Developer for other platforms

Unfortunately, nothing helps.

to run it I have to directly double click on sqldeveloper.exe in its installation folder. If I try to set some paths before launching it to use OCI form Instant client for connections, then SQL Developer does not even start but errors out with :

vjava.lang.IllegalStateException: Problem creating splash screen on ETD.

This is my script wich was working fine for 6 months before update:

set Path=C:\work\prg\Oracle\instantclient_18_3;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem

set PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC

start /B C:\work\prg\Oracle\sqldeveloper\18.3\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.exe

exit

Am I the only one with problems with SQLDeveloper after upgrading windows to build 1809?

Nothing else was changed on my workstation - I need it for work so no toying with it, installing/uninstalling unneeded software and such. And even then, things brake

Right now I have an workaround by using SQLDeveloper inside an VirtualBox Linux VM (yes, the irony - the little engine that could), but it is not a setup I'd ike to keep.

Just to clarify: right mouse click works fine in other apps and windows, no problems with that. The system is virus and other malware free.

Help me get SQLDeveloper showing the correct right mouse click menu.

Regards, Alex
