Avoid load of SQL Change Automation window on Visual Studio

Every time I open a solution, the SQL Change Automation window opens, causing a severe slow down of the load time.
This happens when I open the solution and when I change the current branch. I can't find any option to prevent this to happen.
This tool helps a lot in my workflow and is fantastic, but it is not like I will need to check that window on every solution load. I think for some of us it is enough with the option inside Tools menu.
Please help me to prevent that window to show. I have read about some option for SSMS, but I can't find the same for Visual Studio

Thank you

    Hi @ebezold

    If you upgrade the plugin past version 4.0.19288, you get more control over this behavior. Prior to this version the SCA extension would always open in SSMS.

    On this version and in later versions, the SCA extension will only open by default if you had it open when you last closed SSMS -- so if you close the tab when you are done using it, it won't automatically load when you next open SSMS. 
    Kind regards
