SQL Server Management Studio 18 log files?

Question

My SQL Server Management Studio 18.0 suddenly stopped working, it's not starting anymore. I couldn't find any logs in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18 and Google always tell me how to analyze logs of the SQL Server though I need the logs of the Management Studio. How can I analyze the startup problems of the SQL Server Management Studio? Where are the logs for that or how can they be enabled? Note: I already tried with reinstalling - didn't help.

Run SSMS with the -log parameter and see the error as

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18\Common7\IDE\Ssms.exe" -log D:\log.txt
