Visual Studio 2010 is prompting to login to a Team Foundation Server. How can I remove this?
If you go to Tools:Options:Source Control, you can change your Current source control plugin to something else (or nothing).
It appears that you are being prompted to make a TFS connection to a CodePlex TFS server.
If this is a result of opening a .sln, then you can cancel, and try disassociating this .sln with any source control. Unbind from source control.
Perhaps within Team Explorer you've got a TFS entry there to that CodePlex server. Try disconnecting that.

I am trying to disconnect a TFS server and credentials from Visual Studio Team Explorer on an instance of Visual Studio 2019. I found a similar question on Remove TFS Connection From Visual Studio Team Explorer which was anwsered, but these steps do not seem to apply for VS 2019. I cannot find anything to remove the existing connections. What am I missing?
Go to Team Explorer, select the green plug symbol.
You will be able to see the connected/added list which contain both Azure DevOps Service and Azure DevOps Server in the pop-up dialog box.
Simply right click your TFS/Azure DevOps, then click Remove. Then your stored server url list will be removed.
Certainly, you could also select another server/organization here to quick switch to.
This way will disconnect your TFS connection and connect to another one, and it also keep the prior stored server url in list.
I am using Visual Studio 2017 and I added a TFS Server in my Visual Studio.
Every time I open my VS I get the TFS connections in my Team Explorer.
How can I remove this connection from Visual Studio?
Note that I don't want to delete anything from the server. I only need to delete the connection from Visual Studio.
Click on the plug icon in Team Explorer. You should land on the tab "Connect" where you find a link" Manage Connections". Choose "Connect to a project" and you get a dialog with allyour tfs (and gihub, if you did use it) connectsion. With the "Add TFS Server" link above the list of connections you can add and remove TFS server instances.
After opening Visual Studio 2013 successfully, I switch to the Team Explorer tab and consistently get a popup error dialog saying that, "Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 has stopped working" and "Windows is checking for a solution to the problem".
This seems to be directly related to TFS (2013 Update 4) since other tools that access TFS (like Source Control Explorer > Workspaces...) also cause the crash.
Edit: I have already tried a VS 2013 Repair. This took all morning with no different results.
This is frustrating because I cannot use TFS outside of the command-line tools. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

His issue was checking in changes and having Visual Studio crash. In my case, just using the TFS tools was consistently causing a crash.
The fix for me was to only clear out the local cache and not both the server and local caches.
Clean the Cache folder on client computer. The folder path is: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\5.0\Cache.
I cleared this folder and I was able to use all of the TFS tools without any further issues.
I then realized that this happened since migrating to a new user name. I had copied many of my settings over from my old account folder and it must have corrupted the cache area.
I had the same issue with Visual Studio 2015 Enterprises. When i open it, VS wasn't able to connect to TFS and it crashed when i clicked on "manage connections"
The issue was not about the cache (I cleared the cache, made a repair of VS and nothing changed) but about the fact that we are currently migrating our projects from perforce to Git with Team Foundation Server.
When Visual Studio starts, it seems VS is trying to connect to TFS with linked Git repositories, but since the plugin currently used is perforce, it causes an exception somehow.
The solution is to set your source control plugin to Microsoft Git Provider (or Visual Studio Team Foundation Server if you are using it)
Here's two screen shots I took. Right after I selected the Microsoft Git Provider, the Team Explorer tab automatically refreshed and I am now able to connect to my projects.
Go to Tools -> Extensions and Updates Look for Github Extension for Visual Studio and Uninstall it
Never Mind as you can still work with Github
Now Restart Visual Studio.
Enjoy working on Team Explorer.
I have problem with bad url to TFS 2010 server in Visual Studio.
First I have TFS 2010 on machine zeus... TFS url was zeus:8080\tfs
Then changed location, now is TFS on machine hades...TFS url is now hades:8080\tfs
In visual studio I changed source control to hades:8080\tfs.
Then I created Team project in Team collection.
When I am trying add some solution to source control Visual Studio still use old TFS url (zeus:8080\tfs).
I don't know how can I change it. I search in Visual Studio some settings when I can configure TFS url.
But actually I am connected with good TFS url. I can add Team project to TFS collection but when I am trying add solution Visual Studio use old URL.
Any advice.
Did you try to clear your cache?
Did you follow the steps in the MSDN article: Move Team Foundation Server from One Hardware Configuration to Another?
I have my project already added to the online TFS server of Visual Studio. Now I want to unbind the project from the online TFS server. I have already tried unbinding the Project from the advanced options of Source control.
When I try to add the project to the source control after unbinding, the server name of the TFS remains the online TFS server. How can i change the name of the TFS server?
I have tried most solutions given on SO and internet. But nothing could help me to change the name of the tfs server
You didn’t completely remove TFS Bindings.
There is a tool to remove Source Control Bindings from Visual Studio Solutions and Projects from msdn: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/saveenr/archive/2012/08/11/a-tool-to-remove-source-control-bindings-from-visual-studio-solutions-and-projects.aspx
More ways and more information for you reference: How can I completely remove TFS Bindings
Moreover, If the online TFS mean Visual Studio Team Services(VSonline), to change your server name(server account), please refer this link Change Visual Studio Team Services account owner from MSDN.
