TFS in VS2017 hanging up and freezing


For the past week or so I've been having an issue with the Source Control Explorer in Visual Studio 2017. It now takes a minute or more to expand a folder, and when I right-click -> Get Latest Version it completely freezes and I have to manually close the program with the Task Manager.

I have already tried removing and re-adding the connection to our TFS server. Others on my team are using the same version of VS2017 and the same TFS server without issue. I've uninstalled all extensions and that didn't help either. Short of a complete reinstall, what can I do to fix this issue?


Solution

  • After uninstalling and reinstalling Visual Studio, I finally figured it out.

    I deleted all of the files I had downloaded from TFS locally. After I did that TFS started working without any problems again.
