Power BI Navigator not showing all Oracle tables - SQL Developer shows them

Environment:
- Power BI Desktop: 2.153.910.0 64-bit (April 2026, MSI version)
- Oracle Database: 12.1
- Windows 11 Home
- Oracle Client: OCMT 64-bit installed

**Issue:**
When connecting to Oracle ERP database, Power BI Navigator shows only some tables. However:
-  SQL Developer (with same credentials) shows ALL tables
-  Direct SQL query works: `SELECT * FROM table_name`

**What I've tried:**
- Cleared local cache (%localappdata%\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\AnalysisServicesWorkspaces)
- Set MaxEvaluationWorkingSetInMB registry to 4096
- OCMT 64-bit reinstall
- "Display Options" only shows "Only selected items" and "Enable data previews" - NO "All schemas" option
- ODAC installed, TNS_ADMIN set

The connection works, but Navigator is not fetching complete schema metadata.

Any help would be appreciated!
