I checked almost all questions w.r.t this on stack overflow, but didn't find appropriate answer.
In my project solution file I can see a repeated entry for GlobalSection with SolutionGuid, as follows:
Global
GlobalSection(SolutionProperties) = preSolution
HideSolutionNode = FALSE
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(ExtensibilityGlobals) = postSolution
SolutionGuid = {E3949C94-3551-44F7-BE8B-1FFE4A668402}
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(SubversionScc) = preSolution
Svn-Managed = True
Manager = AnkhSVN2019 - Subversion Support for Visual Studio
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(ExtensibilityGlobals) = postSolution
SolutionGuid = {E3949C94-3551-44F7-BE8B-1FFE4A668402}
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(ExtensibilityGlobals) = postSolution
SolutionGuid = {E3949C94-3551-44F7-BE8B-1FFE4A668402}
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(ExtensibilityGlobals) = postSolution
SolutionGuid = {E3949C94-3551-44F7-BE8B-1FFE4A668402}
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(ExtensibilityGlobals) = postSolution
SolutionGuid = {E3949C94-3551-44F7-BE8B-1FFE4A668402}
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(ExtensibilityGlobals) = postSolution
SolutionGuid = {E3949C94-3551-44F7-BE8B-1FFE4A668402}
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(ExtensibilityGlobals) = postSolution
SolutionGuid = {E3949C94-3551-44F7-BE8B-1FFE4A668402}
EndGlobalSection
EndGlobal
Every time when I open solution in VS2019 creates a new entry of GlobalSection. This should not happen usually a .sln file should have only one section for SolutionGuid. Due to this modification in .sln file, source control detects this as a change and we have to commit or revert it every time.
As you can see GlobalSection for SolutionGuid entry is repeated 7 times with the same GUID. why? How to fix this or this is a bug?

I recently migrated a project from SVN to Git and did also an update from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2019 (via the built-in update-service from Visual Studio).
Now I have found, that in the .sln, GlobalSection(ProjectConfigurationPlatforms) there were four lines newly added, two of them seem to be build-references of some sort with a Project-GUID which appears nowhere else in the .sln.
I manually searched my solution for the GUID, but couldn't find any other appearances of it.
My question is: where does that come from? Any ideas?
Here is the code (the two lines are marked with "unknown GUID"):

I have unbound all projects from TFS version control, but every time I open the solution it pops-up a dialog asking me if I want to connect to TFS.
Q: How do I get rid of it?
Found it!
I had to go into the SOLUTION FILE and remove the following (by-hand)
GlobalSection(TeamFoundationVersionControl) = preSolution
SccNumberOfProjects = 8
SccEnterpriseProvider = {4CA58AB2-18FA-4F8D-95D4-32DDF27D184C}

In the solution's and projects' folders you will find *.vspscc files which are responsible of version control, remove them all and your problem should be fixed.
There is also a .vs and $tf hidden folders, you need to remove those also.
I was able to finally get a legacy ASP.NET project to run which I have been tasked to maintain. A question about it and my tentative auto-answer is here.
In a nutshell, it seems one of the things I needed to do to get it to run was to clean out the TFS files and sections referring to them in the .sln file.
As to the latter, I remove these entries from the solution (.sln) file:
SccProjectName = "SAK"
SccAuxPath = "SAK"
SccLocalPath = "SAK"
SccProvider = "SAK"
...but they have been added back for some reason, so that my .sln contains them again, and for context/full disclosure is:

Why are the "SAK" entries added back, and how can I prevent that from occurring again? This project is not under source control.
When I open the solution, I see a message that says, "...mappings could not be found ... temporarily disconnected..." Why is it even expecting to find mappings?
The folder that the project exists in is mapped to TFS as a Workspace. You will need to move the files or remove the workspace or Visual Studio will keep adding Source Control back.
I have created a custom wizard for visual studio 2010. I can setup the the project configurations but I need I can't find how to set the solution configurations.
Below is an abstract from my code to setup a project configuration from default.js. How can I do a similar thin for the solution?
var debugConfig = proj.Object.Configurations('Debug');
debugConfig.OutputDirectory = '$(ProjectDir)$(ConfigurationName)';
debugConfig.IntermediateDirectory = '$(ConfigurationName)';
debugConfig.ConfigurationType = typeStaticLibrary;
debugConfig.CharacterSet = charSetUnicode;
var CLTool = debugConfig.Tools('VCCLCompilerTool');
CLTool.Optimization = optimizeDisabled;
CLTool.AdditionalIncludeDirectories = '.;$(COREDIR)/cliprt';
CLTool.PreprocessorDefinitions = 'WIN32;_DEBUG;_LIB;CLP_PLATFORM_WIN32';
CLTool.MinimalRebuild = 'true';
CLTool.BasicRuntimeChecks = runtimeBasicCheckAll;
CLTool.RuntimeLibrary = rtMultiThreadedDebug;
CLTool.UsePrecompiledHeader = pchNone;
CLTool.WarningLevel = warningLevel_3;
Update
I recently migrated from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual studio 2010. When I checked back at the 2008 version I noticed that it was behaving as required ie the new configurations were added for both the solution and the project. Is there a known difference in this respect between studio 2008 and 2010?
Ok
I have a solution now. I modified the above code to look like this.
var solCurrentConfig = Solution.SolutionBuild.SolutionConfigurations.Add('AutonomousDebug', 'Debug', true);
var currentConfig = proj.Object.Configurations('AutonomousDebug');
debugConfig.CopyTo( currentConfig );
currentConfig = proj.Object.Configurations('AutonomousDebug');
currentConfig.OutputDirectory = '$(SolutionDir)$(Configuration)';
currentConfig.IntermediateDirectory = '$(Configuration)/';
I have a solution file that only contains one web application project. Everytime I open that file, this message always pops up:
Then in the output window it says:
Some of the properties associated with the solution could not be read.
And here is the solution file's text:

`
Run Visual Studio as Administrator and then try opening the project. This happens for 2 reasons.
You are trying to open a project that you downloaded from online and the project file is marked as that.
You are trying to open a project that is a web application project and the project is set to use the local IIS.
It might well be that both apply to you.
If you downloaded a .zip file from the Interwebs, then before you unzip it, go into the file's properties and Unlock it, then unarchive it. This way Windows will not mark all files it contains as unsafe.
Update:
After reading your question in a bit more detail, I have done some research and I think the issue lies in the TFS settings contained in your solution file. They have somehow gone awry or gotten corrupted.
Try following the procedure described here to solve the issue. If that still doesn't work, then create a blank solution file and add the web application to the solution using existing source. You will find this under the File menu under the New menu item.
