SQLToolbelt Compatibility

I am having trouble using the SQLToolbelt package with SSMS 22.3.0. The application randomly closes. When I uninstall the SQLToolbelt, SSMS runs fine. Thanks.

    Hi Joe Giordano 

    The tools in the TBE bundle have now all received updates so that they now work with SSMS 22.3.
     
    What caused this issue
    SSMS 22.3 introduced changes to internal components used by extensions. Older Versions of the tools depend on earlier version of these components.
    When loaded in SSMS 22.3, this mismatch causes SSMS to crash during startup or when Object Explorer in SSMS is accessed.
     
    The latest version on the tools with now work with SSMS 22.3, however they will no longer work with SSMS 22.2 and below. SSMS 21 and earlier, and Visual Studio, are unaffected.
     
    Toolbelt Essentials installer:
