SQL Server Management Studio Logins Dialog missing
I am running SQL Server Management Studio v17.6.
The online tutorials for creating a new Login show a dialog that comes up when your right-click on Logins and select New Login.
I don't see this dialog; instead I get a script to CREATE LOGIN which is OK but I would prefer the dialog.
I don't see an option to switch from getting a script to getting the dialog. I don't know if this version does not have the dialog or if I am just not finding the option.

Are you selecting "New Login..." or "Script Login As>Create To>New Query Editor Window"?

I am selecting "New Login." This seems to be true for other actions such as adding a new user. I just get the script.

Do you have any addons in SSMS?

I have not used Azure in a few years, but I wouldn't doubt if that is a limitation.
