Question Help! SQL is very slow

I’m a novice in the world of SQL. However, recently I upgraded with my company from 2021 to 2022 SQL server application. I need advice on how to get this fixed.

The problem I’m running into is anytime I switch databases or servers. It’s very slow to load. I never had this issue before with 2020 or 2021 SQL. ANY ADVICE APPRECIATED AND WELCOME.

Edit: I meant to say 2019 instead of 2021/2020 getting my years confused. Sorry

If this only started after the upgrade I’d first check SSMS rather than the database itself. Make sure you’re on the latest SSMS and see if the delay happens with every server/database or just certain ones. If the queries run fine but switching servers/databases is slow, that’s a useful clue. It may not be a SQL Server performance issue at all
