I have installed SQL Developer version 24.3.1 and extracted it into the `product` directory of my Oracle 21c (21.3.0.0) database installation. However, when I execute `sqldeveloper.exe` and connect to the `SYSTEM` user, the following issues occur:
1. The Schema Browser does not load OR queries doesn't run at all.
2. The application gets stuck while displaying the Preferences Window.
Could someone help me identify the root cause of this issue and suggest a solution?

SYSTEM Schema Browser stuck on loading.
