SSMS 20.1 constantly crashing (suspecting .NET issue)
I cannot make SSMS to work. After installing SSMS 20.1 (or any other version) it constantly crashes. I get various errors such as: Cannot create the window Exception has been thrown by the target...
I have been having this issue a lot lately.

Still no response from anyone on this. Here we are a few months later, a new version of VS and still having the same issues

I have resolved my issue after CPU replacement. I have Intel 13900KF, and considering the overvoltage issue that was destroying Intel CPUs it seams my CPU was damaged over time and started crashing SSMS and later some other apps as well. So, if you have 13th or 14th gen Intel CPU, this might be the problem and you should replace the CPU (hopefully is under warranty).
- This is a brand new computer, CPU is not the problem. We are seeing this on multiple machines in our company
markmoore505 Exactly the same here. 20+ reinstalls in the last week. Tested with several HD (Sata & m2), w&wo Intel RST. Multiple SSMS versions, w&wo os updates, w&wo updated drivers, tested RAM. Local & remote SQL Server works. I am desperate!! Nothing works. (Intel i9 14900k, default bios values, ROG strix z790e, 4x32 Kingston ram, nvidia gforce rtx 4060 ti.) I’ve noticed that office 365 installer doesn’t works too (made it work by installing first my Visio and Project license) Please help!!!
