Hi Team,
I am trying to open SQL server management studio 18 from my windows machine, it is not opening.
It pops up the screen stating "SQL Server Management Studio 18.4", after that nothing is happening.
I am trying to get the log file by executing the below command.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18\Common7\IDE>Ssms.exe -log d:\log.txt
a log file is generated,Below is the content of the log file generated
