After updating to Release 16, my SSMS keeps on disconnecting automatically and brings up the Connect to Database Engine pop-up (screenshot below). Additionally, I keep on getting the "System.OutOfMemoryException" when I run queries, even though my machine has 16GB RAM and is only currently using about 4GB. These errors happen with simple queries like SELECT GETDATE(); Any suggestions on what could be the issue? enter image description here

You are not alone. See more details here.

Turns out there's a thread leak in a utility class. The number of threads leaked will be proportional to the number of registered servers you have, among other things. A fix is coming in the next release

Removing servers from Registered Servers will stop SSMS from crashing. If you can afford to do so, I'd recommend it till Microsoft releases a fix.
