SSMS 2016 Losing/Ignoring Settings

  • Quite often, I will find that when I open SSMS 2016, it has 'Outlining' turned on, even though it is unchecked if I look at the 'Outline statements' property in

    Tools/Options/Text Editor/Transact-SQL/IntelliSense

    Anyone else seeing this, or experiencing similar annoyances?

    I've just investigated a bit further. It seems to manifest in combination with the SQL Prompt 'Restore open tabs when SSMS starts' option, and only the tab which opens with initial focus is affected.


  • Hi

    No

    My ssms version = 13.0.15000.23 and seems to remember the change in setting.

  • Thanks for posting. I just tried it again and it seems to have gone away, thankfully.

    13.0.15900.1.

    Having my environment settings reset every time I get a version update remains irritating, however!


  • I've lost a few settings recently but it coincided with my installing Visual Studio, and there seems to be a known issue with that.

    As SSMS now uses the 'VS isolated shell' (whatever that is), this does not surprise me at all.

    Would be nice if the updates followed a patch process. Downloading a 800MB install, which you have to go to the MSDB site for, every time, and doing a full install isn't exactly an q streamlined, or quick, process.
