I have SQL Server Management Studio 2012 on my laptop connected to a SQL Server 2012. If I go in System Databases and then any of the 4 (master, model, msdb, tempdb) I don't have the Tables folder.

I'm quite sure it was there in SSMS 2008 R2. Why were the tables hidden? How can I make them visible?

  • I can't reproduce this on SQL Server 2012 Standard SP1...

  • Are you using Management Studio or Management Studio Express? As of SP1 Management Studio is now completely free (so you'll have full SSMS functionality and you won't be hampered by this bug).

  • I have SP1 installed. If I run an installer (Standard Edition) and select add features it shows both Management Tools - Basic and Management Tools - Complete as already installed. Doesn't say Express anywhere in SSMS.
