SQL Developer Will Not Launch (Windows 10)

I downloaded Oracle Database 11g Express Edition, followed by downloading SQL Developer 4.1.3 with JDK 8 included to my Windows 10 machine. I even downloaded the latest version of Java separately just to cover myself. I'll double click on "start database" and absolutely nothing opens.

Any advice to get it to work?

  2. right click on this executable file
  3. run as administrator
  4. installation starts and the developer opens Hope will help. Regards

If you click "start database" that will NOT launch SQLDeveloper, it will start the database services. That would not normally lead to any window popping up, it runs silently in the background (as you can verify from the task manager and services windows).
Find the proper icon to launch SQLDeveloper and use that instead.
