This may be due to the fact that you're asking to grab something from an unaccessable directory. I'm not too sure, try reinstalling ssms if possible and reinstall sql express and see what it does

This is the known issue in SSMS 18.0 preview 6 and before.
Double-clicking on a .sql file launches SSMS, but does not open the actual script.
As workarounds, please drag and drop the .sql file onto the SSMS editor.
If it is possible, you can use the SSMS 17.9.1 instead. Here is the download link.
