Same here.  No issues for almost a year.  Updated my Desktop and Gateway versions in Dec 2019, and have not been able to reconnect to Oracle since.  I have had about a dozen troubleshooting sessions with support, without resolution.  It is extremely frustrating.  Especially since there are multiple places that list different ODAC versions to install, or require you to do manual installations of drivers via command prompts.  Ugh.
