Why my ssms 20.1 that was downloaded on 04/14/24, always run the same popup page message as in the attatchment ? if i choose repaired and wait it finishes and then reboot the computer, the same popup message pops again. Even that I have uninstall the SSMS and SQL Server, re-download, and re-install both programme, the same error keeps appearing. Whats the problem and how to fix it?

You can find open specifications here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/. Since your question does not pertain to one of these specifications, I've removed the openspecs tag.

We could not see the attachment, if the v20.1 does work, could you please try a lower version sun as v19.3 & v20.0.

2024-04-18T00:33:56.98+00:00 Is SQL Server Management Studio not in your start menu? If so, you could launch it, then pin it to the task bar, etc.

Have you tried installing it with admin privilege?
If yes, try to install it to custom location then after installation go to your customer location and look for "Ssms.exe".Kindly provide feedback if it works or not so we can go to different solution.
