In Visual Studio 2019 / 2022 change the following settings

From Toolbar click Options menu

Expand Source Control option Click Environment sub-menu

Change Source Control Environment Settings to "Custom"

Change Checked-in items options:

Saving: Select "Prompt for checkout" from dropdown

Editing: Select "Prompt for checkout" from dropdown

Click OK button

Also check the Team Explorer Source Control options

From Team Explorer > Team Project Collection > Source Control

Under Workspace Settings tab > Select "Local (recommended)"

Set Enable asynchronous checkout in server workspaces to unticked

Click OK

In Visual Studio 2010:

1) Go to Tools -> Options -> Source Control -> Environment.

2) In "Source Control Environment Settings," select "Custom" from the drop down.

3) Uncheck "Get everything when a solution or project is opened."

(This is a global setting. It is not Solution-specific.)

You can install the TFS power tools, assuming you use TFS 2010 then you can download them here open up a visual studio command prompt and run the command tfpt connections this will bring up a dialogue which will show all of your available TFS servers and Collections.

There are 2 options you can try, firstly uncheck "Automatically connect to server on startup" this should stop VS trying to connect to TFS when you open a solution. If that doesn't work then click on the "+" next to the TFS server and select the collection you are using for source control. Hit the "Edit" button and you should see a checkbox called "Server is Offline" select this and you will no longer be connected to TFS.

To reverse the behaviour use the same tool to togle the values back to their defaults
