Same here, crash occurs after connecting to a database server.

Same issue for me. Tried closing SSMS 22, uninstalling SQL Prompt and re-installing latest version of SQL Prompt. SSMS 22 crashes as soon as I connect to registered server.
Error in ..\AppData\Local\Red Gate\Logs\SQL Prompt 11 log file says
[Outer exception] System.IO.FileNotFoundException : Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.RegSvrEnum, Version=17.100.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Same problem.
I had to revert to SSMS 22.2.1.SSMS 22.3 only works if SQL Prompt is not installed. SQL Search can be installed (it does not cause SSMS to crash), but the button does not appear.

Same solution for me. Had to revert to SSMS 22.2.1. Lost all my open query windows!
-
Latest SSMS 22.3.0 update changed the
Microsoft.SqlServer.RegSvrEnumassembly version from17.100.0.0to17.100.40.0. This breaks SQL Prompt's reference. -
Same issue, following for a fix, thank you.
-
same heree!
-
Same here with SSMS 22.3.0 and latest SQL Search 3.9.
Reverting back to SSMS 22.2.1 solved the issue.
Awaiting SQL Search update
-
Same issue but without installing SQL Prompt. SSMS starts but crashes upon connecting to a server.
-
The error message complained about a missing assembly refference. Mainly Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo.dll
I went into "C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo\13.0.0.0__89845dcd8080cc91\Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo.dll" and copied the file.
In the filepath you might have another number than me “13.0.0.0__89845dcd8080cc91”, but that doesnt matter.
Then i pasted it into "C:\Program Files (x86)\Red Gate\SQL Prompt 11\Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo.dll"
Now it works since SQL Prompt finds the library. I can connect to my servers again without SSMS 22.3 crashing

I have this same issue and uninstalling SQL Prompt was the only way to resolve it as of now.
-
Same here. Going back to the previous version of SSMS resolved the problem.
-
We're having the same problem as well.
SSMS 22.3.0 crashes with the current latest versions of Redgate SQL Prompt 11.3 / SQL Source Control 8.1 / SQL Search 3.9 / SSMS Integration Pack 3.2.
Downgrading SSMS to version 22.1.0 resolves the issue for now.
Hope to see a fix from Redgate soon.
-
The problem…i hope they fix it soon
-
Me too! This is really limiting my productivity. Hope they fix it quickly.
-
Same problem. Following for response. Issues like this need to be fixed immediately.
-
Same issue for me
-
Same issue for me. How do you downgrade to SSMS version 22.2? Do you have to do a full uninstall of SSMS 22.3 and then re-install 22.2?
Also, uninstalling SQL Prompt wasn't sufficient. Had to uninstall SQL Search as well before I was able to connect to a SQL server without crashing.
-
Adam, yes I had to uninstall 22.3. I did not have in install of 22.2.1, and the only one I could find @ microsoft was the evergreen build of 22 which is 22.1.0 released in December 2025 - see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/ssms/release-history. If anyone can point to the install for 22.2.1 I would love to know.
-
The Visual Studio Installer lets you rollback to a previous version of SSMS. It's under the “More" dropdown. It's how I got back to 22.2.1.
-
Same issue with SQL Search. SSMS 22.3 crashes immediately after touching anything. Uninstalling SQL Search fixed the SSMS crashing.
-
Same..
-
Same here. Redgate, please fix ASAP.
Don't you get early releases from Microsoft so these kinds of things can be avoided?
-
Same issue here. I was unable to rollback to 22.2.1 in the VS installer.
Had to uninstall SQL Prompt as well as SQL Search just for SSMS 22.3 to not crash/restart.
I can't find an installation of SSMS 22.2.1, so I'm having to use my old SSMS 21.6.17 - which still works with the SQL Prompt and SQL Search at least.
-
Same Here - Following

FYI:
Redgate Support answered me on Feb 11, 2026, 16:51 GMT:"Yes we are aware of this issue with SSMS 22, SQL Search and SQL Prompt. The development team are testing a fix as we speak. All being well it shall be deployed very soon."
So let's wait and see...
-
We have the same issue with SSMS 22.3.0. Crashes right away after connection.
Uninstalled SQL Search but still crashing with only SQL Prompt installed.Reverting back to SSMS 22.2.1 solves the issue.
-
How do you revert back to 22.2.1?
I don't see this option -
@Rene In Visual Studio Installer, section “SQL Server Management Studio 22” you might have a “Rollback” entry in the options. Worked well for me.
-
Well, I was so “smart” to uninstall and reinstall, so cannot revert back :)
Have to wait for a solution from Redgate

I updated SSMS 22 to latest release (10th feb 2026), and now it crashes consistantly if SQL Prompt 11(latest version) is also installed.
I had to remove SQL Prompt to get SSMS 22 to stop crashing.
I have tried to do complete uninstall of both SSMS 22 & SQL prompt 11, but with same result
