I'm using SSMS 18 and after I installed SSIS and SSRS on my machine I noticed that pretty much every button in every menu in SSMS is repeated several times as shown in the pictures:
I've tried reinstalling and repairing but the issue persists.
I've also tried resetting the toolbar settings in tools > customize menu.
I've also checked registry for duplicate keys but no luck there either.
This issue is making my life pretty miserable :)
Hope someone can help.
What did you reinstall and repair?
Also try this: go to menu, one of Tools, Customize, Commands tab, and press "Reset All".
I reinstalled SQL Server Management Studio 18.
I also mentioned in the post that Tools > Customize >Commands > "Reset All" didn't work.
Hi @Luka Tamazashvili ,
Any update for this thread? Did the reply could help you? If the response helped, do "Accept Answer". If it is not work, please let us know.
@CathyJi-MSFT Thanks for the comment.
I didn't get to try your solution because reinstalling SSMS on a different drive on my PC seems to have solved the problem.
Thanks for the feedback and hope this helps anyone with the same issue in the future.
Hi @Luka Tamazashvili ,
The repeated objects are keyboard shortcuts in SSMS. Did you try to reset this to default? On the Tools menu, select Options. Select the desired keyboard scheme on the Environment, Keyboard page.
Which version of your SSMS? Suggest you using the latest version SSMS 18.11.1.
In addition, did you try to restore the default environment layout in SSMS. In the Window menu, select Reset Window Layout.

I encountered the same problem and spent about 1 day trying to solve it because there were no documents about it.
Here is a brief explanation of what I think the reason is:
I used to install one version of Visual Studio (VS), but not properly uninstall it.
Then I installed a newer version of VS, making the disk contain 2 folders of VSGraphic.
When I installed SSMS, it duplicated ribbons due to a conflict between 2 versions of VSGraphic.
So the way I solved it is just simply to remove the old version of VS (or somehow manage the disk that only contains 1 VSGraphic), then re-installed the SMSS.
Btw: I don't know how that leads to conflict, this comment is based on my experience.
Hope this helps anyone getting this error.
