I'm constantly getting a pop up asking me to save queries I am still working on. Sometimes I open an instance that has been idle just to realize the query I had open has been closed or disappeared. Plus I have checked the copy with header option in the Tool settings multiple times and it still won't copy the header.

2026-08-07T15:09:38.1766667+00:00 Save pop-ups: Tools then Options then Query Execution then SQL Server then General then uncheck "Prompt to save unsaved T-SQL query windows on close."
Losing open queries: Turn on AutoRecover under Tools then Options then Environment then AutoRecover. To recover lost text from the plan cache (needs VIEW SERVER STATE):
SELECT t.text, s.last_execution_time FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats s CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(s.sql_handle) t ORDER BY s.last_execution_time DESC;Copy with headers: Tools then Options then Query Results then SQL Server then Results to Grid then check "Include column headers when copying or saving the results," then open a new query window.
