I cannot get SSMS to auto link tables anymore in the Query Designer, I have completely removed it, deleted the folders and reinstalled and it still won't work. Below are pictures to show you what I mean.

This is a PC where it is working and my PC where it just stopped working out of the blue today. I have copied over the settings (import/export) from the PC that is working to mine and that did not fix it.

    Hi @Dominic Legendre,

    What version of SSMS do you have? You can check it out here: From the navigation bar, click Help -> About...

    SSMS 19.0.2 is the latest general availability (GA) version. If you are not the latest version, you can try to install it.

    Best regards,
