I Can’t Log In To Visual Studio Or Connect To TFS

Problem:

  1. Visual Studio will not connect to TFS Server
  2. I can’t connect to Visual Studio with my Email.

Was not able to login to Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise.  Was not able to connect to our TFS Server.  The wierd part was that this was only not working when I wasnt running as admin.  If I was running as admin then I could login to Visual Studio with my email and connect to TFS and see the repositories.

 

Fix:

Tried solutions outlining clearing the TFS Cache, but later realized that I had a login problem which was totally unrelated to TFS.

I uninstalled the extension: Productivity Power Tools

Try uninstalling or disabling plugin extensions.
