Recently I installed SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) in a brand new laptop with a NVIDIA card.
Soon both myself and a colleague experienced some screen redraw issues. Colors, toolbar buttons missing, nearly impossible to work with.
After installing and uninstalling several NVIDIA drivers, disabling 3d physics, changing compatibility modes for the SSMS.exe application and pulling whatever hair I have out trying to figure out a way to work with it, I found the solution for me… maybe for you as well.
Since then… no more funny colors or artifacts anywhere…
