I have this issue as well, ended up uninstalling SQL Prompt and SSMS 22.5, put 22.5 back on and its stable.The issue was SQL Prompt, which I miss dearly at this point.

I urge people, if they rely on Red-Gate tools, to not upgrade SSMS to _any_ new release until you see each tool state that it supports the latest SSMS.
I've gone through this so many times - upgrade, then break immediately. I've come to peace with the fact that I value my Red-Gate products working more than the very latest SSMS release, AND that they very rarely do they “just work” even for a minor point release in the SSMS world.

Same issue here. Reverting to earlier SSMS fixed it for now.

Hi, I confirm the issue. After installing the MS update promomed in SSMS, then Redgate Prompt starts crashing. Similar situation was after every recent MS update of SSMS. It's been pretty frustrating to solve it after every recent SSMS update and I wonder if alternatives (Apex, dbForge,…) are more stable in that sense?

-
After installing all the latest updates this problem seems te be solved.
-
Also with SQL Prompt version 11.3.11.23448, SSMS 22.5 crashes. Had to downgrade to 22.4, then it works again. Very unfortunate.
-
Works well for me now. The issue was not caused by SQL Prompt, but by other Red Gate products I was not using (and also not updating).
https://documentation.red-gate.com/sdg/troubleshooting/common-issues/ssms-22-5-compatibility
Uninstalling them solved the issue and Prompt now works well on 22.5

After uninstalling an old version of SQL Dependency Tracker, SSMS 22.5 worked well. Thank you very much.

Hello Redgate? When will you get this under control again? Every update of RG tools or SSMS a potential disaster, and we all need to reinstall our client software again and again.
I beg you to make this stuff stable again!

After installing SSMS 22.5.0 and connecting to a databaseserver, SSMS crashes. Probably caused by SQL Prompt, because the log contains:
