After reinstalling the Visual Studio Professional 2017, since then I used to get the error message as The application cannot start, while opening the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 17

I had repaired and reinstalled but still the problem exist.

Maybe you could try installing the latest version of SSMS - v17 is almost a year behind:
