Just a new major version, you are already updating 17...
If you happen to have a mechanism to update HKCU... The below entry will disable update checks. This regkey path did change from 17.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\18.0_IsoShell\UpdateChecker "Enabled"="False"
While we are removing 17 using supersedence, it might be nice to have a replace option.
Thanks for the new request we will look into this product as soon as we can.
Looks like this is in the catalog already...
Wow, another +1 for fast service!
