SSMS opens new instance for each file

Since the upgrade to SSMS 20.2, it opens a new instance every time when I open a template from the SF, while before it should only open a new tab.

This is very annoying and undesirable, because it costs unnecessary time and resources.

I myself have not been able to find a solution, my friend Co-pilot did not know either.

Is there perhaps someone in the community who knows?


PS, I am aware of Azure Data Studio, but at this moment I still prefer SSMS

No it did not help, I have moved over to Azure Data Studio and try to get used to it.

Thanks anyway.

I have this same version of SSMS but for me it does not open a new window, it just opens a new tab. So I think this might be a setting problem within SSMS it self. 

I found this topic to fix this problem for an older version. Perhaps this leads you towards the solution:

Does this help?
