I have been having this problem too for a few months. Today I upgraded from SSMS 19.3 to SSMS 20.1 (Windows 11 box). Although SSMS is supposed to import options and customisations, it definitely doesn't do them all - including toolbars. I like my toolbars to have my most used tools and not filled with stuff I don't want. So I modified the toolbars to the way I wanted, then exited out of SSMS. Unfortunately, SSMS automatically restarted (again) and the toolbars had all reverted (or, more specifically, nothing had been saved). After various fumbling about, I found a workaround how to stop this happening: Disconnect from all servers before exiting SSMS. The object explorer should be empty. This will stop SSMS restarting, and also allow you to save changes to toolbars (and perhaps other things). (Note that it seems to be OK if you didn't actually open any databases, but if you have opened a database, then disconnecting from the server, before exiting SSMS, allows you to exit without restarting). / comments

I had exactly the same problem Rick. Clicking options (either on main page, or button top right) would cause that error and crash SSMS. I tried many things (including installing an older version then updating) but nothing stopped it happening with this version. I now consider this latest release to be broken. Instead, I installed my latest version from my downloads folder (which was 7.1.26 I think), and left it as is (e.g., not updating to 7.1.30). I'll wait for next version - and not delete my old installer. Note that I couldn't find a place to download the previous version on here - I had to rely on my previous downloads only. / comments
