in SQL Prompt
SQL Prompt stopped working for some reason. I saw there was an update so i updated it. Now the menu is gone from SSMS. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that did not help. I looked on the forum and found this link.

https://forum.red-gate.com/discussion/comment/163577#Comment_163577

Changing "AlwaysRecreateCommands" did not help for me either. I'm using SSMS 2014 (version 12.0.5000.0). I installed SSMS v18.6 (version 15.0.18338.0) to see if it shows up there but it doesn't. How can I get SQL Prompt to show up and work again?

    I am in the same boat  :( I have uninstalled and re-installed. Manually removed directories per another post I saw. I am realizing how much I absolutely depend on SQL Prompt to increase my productivity! I was prowling through logs on SSMS Integration Pack 3 directory and saw this:

    C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Red Gate\Logs\SSMS Integration Pack 3
    and as a note, I work for a very large company that has very tight control on our ability to install

    Hello @theDeveloper,

    If you were running SQL Prompt 9 (which had support for SSMS 2014, as described here) then updated to SQL Prompt 10 (which does not have support for SSMS 2014, as described here), that might be the reason why the extension is not appearing for you.

    Please uninstall the existing SQL Prompt, double check to make sure SSMS 18 is already installed, and then reinstall the latest version of SQL Prompt here.

    I hope this answer helps you out! Please do update me if you are still having any issues.

    @lorens,

    Can you provide me with your SSMS and SQL Prompt versions? It sounded like SQL Prompt previously worked for you, can include additional details of when this was no longer the case?

    Do you still see the SQL Prompt tab inside SSMS?
