Running SSMS 18.6 causes the program to launch, hang, and then crash. There is no error message given, the program simply terminates before any action is taken and nothing is connected.
I've uninstalled and deleted all files for SSMS, Visual Studio, and SQL Complete.
I tried the 18.6 and 18.5.1 versions of SSMS to no avail.
From https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/237086/sql-server-management-studio-18-wont-open-only-splash-screen-pops-up/237087#237087 :
I have tried copying the Interop.8.0.dll file from privateassemblies into public. No effect. The line in the config file mentioned here is already commented out in the recent release of SSMS.
From Sql Server Management Studio closes immediately after startup :
I have tried renaming or deleting the package file listed here and removed the relevant registry key. This causes SSMS not to open at all and Windows to issue an alert sound. No other effect.

I tried to repair .NET framework. No effect.
I was only able to install and successfully connect on SSMS version 17.9.1
I can provide Event Viewer details if anyone is willing to help me troubleshoot. I have a .NET Runtime error and two application errors- one is event name CLR20r3 and the other is APPCRASH. Happy to provide more information if needed.
While I can't speak to the exact reason it happened, I found a solution. Whatever the issue was, I discovered it was user specific and limited to my machine. Other users were able to access SSMS as normal on my machine as was I on theirs.
I happened to remember that the AppData folder exists and is just hidden, so I used an administrator account to copy that from a working user and rewrite the files in both of mine that were not used in some background process. This allowed me to once again access SSMS both as my regular user and with my elevated administrator account.
I had this same issue (it happened all of a sudden perhaps due to a windows update). I also tried all the other solutions listed above, but the only thing that worked for me was to uninstall and then reinstall version 7.9.1 like the original poster recommended.
In my case I only have 1 user on the computer, so the other user accounts being able to access was not applicable.
I am trying to query a remote database that I am connected to, however am having issues 'connecting' to the database with the Query Tool. The Query Tool opens, however the 'plug' icon stays red and doesn't seem to connect to the database (see picture below).
I'm not sure if that is the best way to describe it, however hopefully attached picture makes sense.
Is there a reason that this is occurring? I have left it to load overnight, etc. in case it is just waiting to connect with remote database but it still does not connect.
Thanks in advance
I had the same problem for months. But I found that the issue would be resolved when we download and install pgAdmin 4 v4.2 .If a VPN is needed to connect to your remote database, makes sure that it works fine in your computer.
The download link is:
https://www.pgadmin.org/download/
We had a similar problem with 3.x. In our case, upgrading to 4.4 did not solve the problem until we restarted the computer (MacOSX); although we had stopped the local server before upgrading.
I have two accounts on my mac and Dbeaver only works on one account at the same time. In the another account, i get the following message "You can’t open the application “DBeaver” because it is not supported on this type of Mac."
this has worked for me.
Uninstalling the broken instance, and re-installing it with brew has worked for me for some reason. It also restored my old connections.
brew reinstall --cask dbeaver-community
I'm not much of a Mac user myself however I'm aware that running something like SQL LocalDB/Express on Windows concurrently between two accounts isn't possible either.I believe it has something to do with the pre-existing instance you've launched on the other account. I'm going to assume it works swell on one account at a time?
System Preferences-->Security & Privacy-->General, set 'Allow Apps etc' to 'Anywhere'
This helps me.
An attempted deployment from (localhost) to (remote server) yielded the Error 27123 which, appears to be a credentials-related issue. After spending several hours the resolution appears to be one of assigning local-to-the-remote server Windows credentials that are used to launch DTEexec.exe. I am using VS2012 Ultimate locally with SQL Server 2014 Developer version and remote SQL version 2012 SP1. However, my attempts have failed so far.
I would VERY much like to be able to deploy to the remote server inside of VS2012, including creating folders, etc but am still at a loss as to the missing piece needed.
We do not have Active Directory set up as the remote is on the Amazon S3 cloud bit other than that is pretty much a plain vanilla setup. I also noted some folks suggested a Kerberos-based response but before I ask our network guru to proceed I'd like at least to get confirmation.
I AM able to manually FTP, install and run packages when remoted in but that stinks for my contractor who I would also like to be able to have me out of his way. s
All found online materials have not yet yielded the one last piece. I suspect my ignorance rather than the lack of a real solution and would appreciate any guidance.
Thanks in advance.
After installing SP2 to an existing SQL Server 2008 R2 I lost access to all my databases and started facing the error in the screenshot.
Any ideas?
Check the environment value for Temp and TMP.
C:\Users\buck>set t
TEMP=C:\Users\buck\AppData\Local\Temp\2
TMP=C:\Users\buck\AppData\Local\Temp\2
Make sure the directory listed exist and your id has appropriate permission to write to that directory. Alternatively, through the control panel (Control Panel-> System and Security-> System -> Advanced system settings), you can change the default directories that are assigned to TEMP and TMP.
When I've seen this issue, it is usually because the Drive that SSMS is installed on has run out of free space. Deleting some old Log files clears the issue up.
Doing that quick check might be worthwhile before going forward with a re-install.
I got this error on our remote shared server. Turned out that our C drive did not have any space left.
I got it working by asking my colleague to close his SQL Server Management Studio session and it cleared up 7 GB right away! I could login then! Woot woot!
Right click on the SSMS icon and click 'run as administrator'. At the SSMS console verify that the error is gone by clicking on the 'Databases' tree node. The error should now be permanently fixed and you do not need to run SSMS as admin anymore. Next time just start SSMS normally and it should work fine.
Changing the temp variables did not resolve. Drive with SMMS installed has 34% free space.
However, using Run > %temp% > it would error out as "C:\%username%\appdata\local\temp\4 was missing" (this is not listed in my TEMP/TMP variables).
Quick solution was to add sub folder for "4" in c:\%username%\appdata\local\temp\ and now able to open SMMS without issue.
When running into this I found it was related to the environment temp folder (TMP Temp).
I had tried adding the "2" folder to this location with no success.
C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Temp\2
Try typing %temp% in file explorer and see if it takes you to a valid location. I found that I received an error because it was trying to go to a "4" location.
C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Temp\4
I created a folder named "4" in the Temp folder, reran SSMS, and it started working again.
A quick google suggest that apparently it is a bit common issue. It looks like that it is not an issue of SQL Server itself but actually .NET issue And most common (and quick) solution I found is to reinstall SSMS.
I've found that if you are upgrading an iseries odbc driver on a sql cluster. Lots of times you will run into this issue exactly. Renaming the machine.config in both the 32 bit and 64 bit folders does the trick. we currently upgraded from version 12 or 6.1 to 7.1 or 13 as the version 12 was causing a bug check on one of our SQL instances. Upgraded, and the issues all went away.
Cheers,
According to the following link:
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/573771/value-cannot-be-null
I just checked that my user is local admin, then i logged off and logged back in.
After that step i haven't received this error again.
I was receiving this exact error and thought I'd have a go at running the repair.
Well the repair didn't resolve the issue however it did tell me that it was unable to access machine.config in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG - found it didn't exist! There was another file machine.config.default
So had a stab at copying, renaming to .config and viola resolved it and everything working like a champion.
I got the same error in SSMS and I found this link and followed the steps as it mentioned.
The problem appeared to be when accessing the contents of a settings file. The file had invalid entries. This file is CurrentSettings-. The fix for this is as shown below:
On the server Go to start menu–>Your profile–>Documents–>SQL Server Management Studio–>Settings (this is the location of the file specified above)
Delete all files from this folder
Restart sqlserver services
Launch the SSMS and this error is gone. You will be able to expand all the folders and perform regular SSMS activities without this error.
Once I performed these steps and restarted my PC this error was gone and SSMS worked fine.
I just faced this issue and resolved it immediately in 5 mins. Just go to Control Panel and Run Troubleshooting tool on Programs.
**PATH** Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\Programs
It will give you the list of installed programs which may have any issue. Scroll down that list and find 'SQL Server Management Studio' and run troubleshooting process on that. It will hopefully fix you issue.
I gets this messages many times and every time it is resolved by different solutions below few of it.
Solution: Clear cache from temp folder, Press windows + R => type "%temp%" => Delete all the files from temp folder... And try weather it works and opens ssms successfully
Solution: create folder named "2" in this above mentioned temp folder location... And try weather it works and opens ssms successfully.
Solution:create folder named "4" in this above mentioned temp folder location... And try weather it works and opens ssms successfully.
Solution: It may cause because of low disk space in drive ssms is installed... so free some space...And try weather it works and opens ssms successfully.
Solution: Format is the last solution...
