Anonymous , try this setting, if this does not work log an issue

 

Go to File-> Options and settings -> Options -> Security Option -> and check : Use My Default browser( Visible after scrolling)

if needed, clear the cache of the default browser

Hi Amitchandak, sadly that did not work either. I don't think the problem is that I am not properly authenticated. Otherwise it would not happen in Python as well I would think. I will look into logging an issue later today, thanks for the suggestion. I'm still hoping there is some way to make the OLE DB connection work again on my end.
