    Hi @Rohit Kulkarni,

    Yes. You need install the latest SSMS. It seems that your SSMS is version 16.X. This only applies to SQL Server 2016 and prior versions. You can see your current SSMS version here.

    From the SSMS navigation bar click on Help->About.. :

    SSMS 19.0.1 is the latest general availability (GA) version. You can install it.

    Best regards,

    Seeya

    I guess you use an earlier version of SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). Try to use the latest version of SSMS and see if that solve your issue. Here is the link to Download SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
