Answer 1

If anyone experiences the same issue in MS SQL SERVER from a different scenario ( eg - creating new database diagram )

And if this happened after fully uninstalling MS VISUAL STUDIO

Follow the Steps Below;

1. Delete Folders MSDesigners8 and Visual Database Tools from the paths below.

• C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSDesigners8

• C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Visual Database Tools

2. Reinstall Visual Studio and Run Repair Tools from the Visual Studio Installer.

This Will Regenerate the folders we removed above and will repair partial fragments.

Now your SQL SERVER Database Diagrams should be working fine. Cheers :)
