ok, I did an experiment: 1. I opened ssms and I went connected to a database. GDI Objects = 222 2. I opened the open file dialog and closed it without opening a file. GDI Objects = 269 3. I opened a sql file with 1539 lines. GDI Objects = 409 4. Closed the file. GDI Objects = 359 It seems to me that SSMS doesn't release all the GDI objects upon closing the file. / comments

Hi Christian, Thank you for the suggestions. Currently the GDI Objects shows 935. it is the highest followed by Task Manager, interestingly enough, which has 904 in that column. The value for GDIProcessHandleQuota is 10000 (decimal). I will keep an eye on it. / comments

Hi, I checked the log files and this is the exception I found: 18612 2026-03-20 17:27:55.646 -07:00 [Error] LogService caught unhandled exception in AppDomain: 'A generic error occurred in GDI+.' [Outer exception] System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException : A generic error occurred in GDI+. at System.Drawing.Graphics.CheckErrorStatus(Int32 status) at System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawLine(Pen pen, Int32 x1, Int32 y1, Int32 x2, Int32 y2) at RedGate.SqlPrompt.CommonUI.Forms.SchemaInformation.ObjectDefinitionBox.toolbar1_Paint(Object sender, PaintEventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.PaintWithErrorHandling(PaintEventArgs e, Int16 layer) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmPaint(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ScrollableControl.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.DebuggableCallback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) I wanted to view the structure of a table. I hovered above the table name, then I clicked on the link displayed in the tooltip and that's when it crashed. > Additionally, is this behavior/crash happening when you are working on particular script or does it reproduce regardless of what you are working on? Re: the crashes happen intermittently, and I did not observe any pattern other than the fact that I spent more time editing sql scripts in SSMS, scripts that are relatively complex, and going back and forth between sql scripts. > Have you tested in other versions of SSMS besides version 19.3.4 No, I did not. I don't like the most recent versions of SSMS. At one point I tried SQL Prompt in a more recent version of SSMS and it didn't work, so I didn't bother at all with newer versions. The truth is SSMS is not my main sql editor and tool for querying data, I use datagrip to edit scripts most of the time, but I like the sql prompt support for editing and I use ssms from time to time. Btw, I use Windows 2016 Server over RDP, and I wonder if the system resources are exhausted because I have a lot of opened apps at the same time and that might trigger crash. I don't know. All I can say is that it is not the first time it happened. / comments
