    Hi，Jay Tabatabai

    You can try fixing the issue by the following methods:

    • Download and install the latest .NET Framework.
    • Rename the "\UserSettings-2024-07-30_07-21Backup.xml" file to "UserSettings-Old.xml". Restart SSMS to let it generate a new settings file.

    Best Regards,

    Mikey Qiao
