Fix for error msg: "SQL Source Control is disabled because you have multiple instances of SSMS open".
When other instances of SSMS are closed, Source Control should be re-enabled.

In the Global Options you can choose to allow SQL Source Control to be open in multiple Management Studio windows

Open Task Manager . Click on more details
Now look for SSMS instance under background processes.
Kill it. -

hen other instances of SSMS are closed, Source Control should be re-enabled.
>> What's the recovery if this is not the case? All additional instances are closed and I'm still getting this error message (and I don't want to change to allow multiple windows)
