Oracle SQL Developer doesn't start

I've tried everything on this site, but I can't seem to start SQL Developer properly. I am using Oracle express edition and windows 7. My SQL Developer version is 4.1.3 and JDK version is jdk1.8.0_101.

It gets stuck on here and doesn't start:

I tried moving SQL Developer to different folders. I tried installing different versions. I tried everything on this site but nothing solves my problem or when something works it is temporary and next time I open it, it is stuck again.

Please help, and moderators please don't close my question because nothing on here works for me!

Go to your AppData folder under your Windows OS User's home directory.

Under there is a roaming profiles directory, and under that there should be a SQL Developer folder.

In THERE, you'll see a systemW.X.Y.Z... folder - rename that.

This stores the application settings, including things like your connections for a specific version of SQL Developer.

Try starting SQL Developer again.

You can go back into your renamed folder to recover things as needed if starting fresh fixes the issue.
