Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

SQL Developer throws below error when exporting data to excel. "Validation Failed : Save as target c:\users\476026\desktop is not writable"

In fact, i tried multiple version of version as noted below, but issue still remains.

sqldeveloper-4.0.0.13.30-no-jre

sqldeveloper-4.1.0.17.29-no-jre

sqldeveloper-4.1.1.19.59-no-jre

Even, i deleted the data from below directories just to see deleting works. But it was of no use.
