MS Store version was fixed. Please try to re-download it.

@treysis hmmm I uninstalled the app store version and installed this. It didn’t retain the connections. Not sure if there’s a way of preserving the settings.

This issue came up before with a previous release of DBeaver on the Microsoft Store (#18960).

For me the fix was to modify my registry and point my JRE to an updated JDK: https://github.com/dbeaver/dbeaver/issues/18960#issuecomment-1422646908

It was eventually fixed in a subsequent Microsoft Store release, however, it may take a while for the developers to fix and publish a new build. Good luck!

Me too! I’m using Windows 10 and I’m getting this error: image
