TFS integration into WIndows 10 File Explorer

when running windows 8.1 I had the windows explorer extension that allowed TFS 2013 integration.

After an upgrade to Windows 10 that has "made off" as the police would like to say.

Has anyone got this working and if they have what did they do?

Beginning with Visual Studio 2017, a new extension called Microsoft Team Foundation Version Control Windows Shell Extension has been published to the Visual Studio Marketplace.

The description says:

This release requires a computer with Visual Studio 2017 and all of the Visual Studio system requirements. It supports all TFS Server versions that are supported by Visual Studio 2017:

  • Team Foundation Server 2018
  • Team Foundation Server 2017
  • Team Foundation Server 2015
  • Team Foundation Server 2013
  • Team Foundation Server 2012
  • Team Foundation Server 2010 SP1
  • Visual Studio Team Services

I have finally got to the bottom of this. It turns out that you dont match the power tools to teh TFS version (even though they are TFS power tools), you match them to the Visual Studio version regardless of the TFS version.

So in my case I have visual studio 2015 and TFS 2013. I need to install the power tools for TFS 2015.

Thanks for your help everyone

Dave is correct that, you need to install TFS 2013 Power Tool to use Windows Shell Extension.

Then you can get the extension in a local folder which is in a TFVC mapped workspace folder.
