SSMS restarted when click schedule button in the plan

  • I just installed SSMS 17.6 on a SQL server 2017 instance.

    When I open maintenance plan, click the schedule button in the plan, it restarted the SSMS.

    Any one has the same issue? And the fix?

    Thanks

    I've read the one in quite a few places. The fix...don't use maintenance plans. But you've heard that one before so....
    From what I remember, you would need to uninstall that version. 17.4 or 17.5 seem to work as long as you uninstall any higher versions.

  • I know I can use other options.
    But for some jobs I do need the maintenance plans, since it is a out of box feature, it should work. and Microsoft should fix the problem if it is a part of the product.
    So do you mean the earlier version 17.5 works?

    Thanks

    Yup...that's what at least a few or more posts have said.. A couple posters said they tried just installing and using the earlier versions and it didn't work until they uninstalled 17.6
    It's a weird bug and it absolutely should work. A lot of trying to figure out what's broken with what version is more than irritating to me.

  • Agree, thank you.
