SSMS has been working flawlessly on my system for years, but as of yesterday it is no longer working.
SSMS opens properly connecting to the server, all databases listed. If I right click on a table I can Select Top 1000 rows and the results display. but if I right click on:
Design - The design page opens blank with the hourglass but nothing else except at the top of the screen it says SSMS is not responding. Let it sit there for hours but ultimately have to close the program.
Edit Top - Nothing at all happens except at the top of the screen it says SSMS is not responding.
Create new table - New table page opens but as soon as you try to enter a column name ssms stops working with the same not responding line.
I have reinstalled SSMS version 18.8 3 times and am running the Developer version of SQL Server 2019. When this issue started I was running SQL Server 2017 but tried updating to 2019 to see if that would resolve the issue.
