SQL Source Control is disabled because selected in another SSMS window

I get the error message:
SQL Source Control is disabled for this database because it's selected in another SSMS window.

I only have the SQL Source Control tab open in SSMS and have verified that only one instance of ssms.exe is running.  I have closed and restarted, selected the database I want to link and keep getting this message.  If I select another database linked to the same source control server, it works fine.  It only happens with this one database.

More information: The database in question was initally linked but was unlinked because we had to rename the TFS collection.  The problem occurred when I went to link it back to the new collection.

Is there anything I can do to get to the Setup tab so I can re-link this database back to source control?  I am also using SSMS 18.6 (just upgraded) so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

I am using SQL Source Control 7.1.29.11028.

Thanks,
Greg

You can close this.  There was actually another instance of SSMS.exe running in the background for some reason.  I mistakenly looked at smss.exe which is not SQL Server Management Studio.

Glad to hear that, @knierim!
