I am on a windows 10 64 bit machine. I had to reboot my laptop because our VPN would not connect. After that was resolved, Toad won't open. I get no splash screen, nothing. I can see it in task manager, but that is all. It thinks that it is running, but nothing appears on my screen. No errors…

mstaszew, Well, here is what I did to resolve the situation. I uninstalled everything Quest/Toad related from my laptop and then removed any residual directories. I rebooted and then installed Toad version 14.2. When 14.2 came up, it prompted me to upgrade to 16.2. I chanced it and allowed it …

Kill Toad if it's still running and add DEBUG=1 to the [SETTINGS] section of Toad.ini. Search for DEBUG= first to be sure you do not include it twice. Its default location is %APPDATA%\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle\16.2\User Files\Toad.ini. Start Toad, give it 30 secs or so, and then kill it from T…

I have done as you suggested, but it won't create a log file. There was no logs folder so I created one, but it just won't create a log file. I also tried it with 16.1 which also will not start and it too will not create a log file. I am considering uninstall ALL versions of toad that are on my l…

Before uninstall/reinstall I'd try renaming %APPDATA%\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle\16.2 with Toad closed and trying again. If that doesn't work you can surely try uninstall/reinstall, but I don't have high hopes that it'll change anything. Were any Windows updates applied at your reboot? Does your…

There were no updates during the reboot or the cold startup, which I also did. As far as malware software, I will have to find out. I will do the rename of the 16.2 folder and let you know what happens.

I have checked and no definition updates for the malware. I did as you suggested and renamed the 16.2 folder while Toad was closed and even moved it to the TEMP folder. I then restarted TOAD to no avail. I assume that it was supposed to create a 16.2 folder again, but it did not and Toad remains …

Thanks for your suggestion John, but we actually have unrestricted access to the internet in my company, however, I will try as you suggested, just in case that fixes it.

Hi John, that did not work for me. I think that I am going to totally uninstall all things Toad from my laptop, deleting everything that is related to Toad and reinstall the latest version to see what happens.

mstaszew, any other suggestions before I do a complete uninstall of all things toad and try to install it from the ground up? I really appreciate your help so far, but nothing has work as of yet.

I have no other suggestions at this time. The existence of Toad.exe in Task Manage and the fact that Toad did not produce any log files means it is locking up extremely early in the startup logic. I'll put a breakpoint in and see if I can narrow down what's occurring between app start and the first …
