Introduction
When there are unsaved opened query windows in SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) and we try to close them either at once by directly closing the SSMS itself or closing just an individual window, we get a "Save query" window prompting us to save them to the physical disk.
In earlier versions of SSMS, it's not possible to ignore this "Save query" window prompt that comes. While this restriction is actually meaningful to have in SSMS, with SSMS 2016, you can now customize to hide those prompts as per your preference.
How To
To configure this, please follow these steps.
Tools - Options - Query Execution - SQL Server - General - “Prompt to save unsaved T-SQL query windows on close”
