Both Toad for Oracle 2025 R2 and Patch 1 take over 1 minute to load

Toad for Oracle & DevOps Toolkit
1

Hi,

We are on Windows 10 64-bit, and I am using Toad for Oracle Developer Edition (64-bit) (Add-Ons: 25.1.20.5192), and this version loads really quick.

However, I have just downloaded and installed
Toad for Oracle Developer Edition (64-bit) (Add-Ons: 25.2.386.6575) ie. Toad 2025 R2 Patch 1, but this version takes 1 minute and 7 seconds load. The previous R2 version was also the same.

I have followed some of the solutions mentioned on the internet but none have helped.

I am not really sure why Toad for Oracle 2025 R1 (and previous versions) load without any issues, but all of a sudden Toad for Oracle 2025 R2 and R2 Patch 1, both take a long time to load, and basically hangs for a minute saying "Checking for critical files...".

Any help is welcome

Thanks

Uncheck this option, it should reduce load time to a couple of seconds:

Options -> Online -> Allow Internet Access

Hi John,

Thanks for the help, it worked.

However, when I do that then it will not check for any future updates or let me check for check online.

Is there any other way to resolve this issue ?

Why is this happening with this version, because my R1 version also has allow internet access checked and that does not have this issue.

Thanks again

That's difficult to say without knowing what's running slowly. You can generate log files that may be of use.

  1. Enable the internet access option
  2. Enable Logging - In Options, check Enable logging on the General page and click OK
  3. Toad will restart
  4. After Toad restarts, you'll see this indicator at the lower left
  5. Open the Logs folder and send all of them to me at michael.staszewski@quest.com

Thanks,
Michael
