Problem

I recently installed SSMS 18.1 and I am having an issue when trying to drag and drop table names from the object explorer to the query window. For example, I am writing a query and dont want type out the table name I would drag and drop the table into the query editor and the name will be there.

This is the error I get: "An exception has been encountered. This may be caused by an extension".

Any help would be appreciated.

In the meantime, you could revert to SSMS 17.9.
