Based on the initial progress messages I saw, I am sure the MS installed tons of crap I don't need. Instead of simply installing SSMS 2016.
Unfortunately this is how MS operates. Every new update or a new version is bigger, slower, and full of junk.
>Really, do some web searches. You'll find similar issues and resolutions. BTW, I learned there is no live installer. It's all self-contained.

>>Probably complete install. I downloaded the file from MS web site. But I don't know, maybe MS goes back to their web site every frigging byte of data. Or maybe copying my data to their web site. Never know with MS.
