SSMS - on open always shown

• 
  Hi John,
  
  Thanks for your post. It looks like this is a problem we've recently introduced into SQL Source Control. Hopefully we can fix it soon.
  
  In the meantime, I've found a way you can work around the problem:

  • Open %LocalAppData%Red GateSQL Source Control 3RedGate_SQLSourceControl_CommonUI_UIOptions.xml in a text editor
  • Anywhere between the two lines that mention "UIOptions", add the following:

    <ShowTabOnSSMSStart>False</ShowTabOnSSMSStart>
    

  • Save the file and restart SSMS

  
  That should prevent SQL Source Control from automatically opening whenever SSMS opens.
  
  Please let me know if that works for you.

  That worked, thank you!
  
  Best,

  Now each time I open SSMS, there it is. I would prefer it to stay closed until I need it, not show itself each time SSMS launches?

  I'm pleased to say we have fixed this bug in our latest Frequent Update release (SQL Source Control 3.8.5), which is available now.
  
  If you'd can't update (for instance, if you're using our Default release channel), the workaround documented above will continue to work just fine.
