I installed Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 (downloaded from MS download center) and lost the connection to Team Foundation Server from Team Explorer. Before that, I was connected right at VS2012 startup. It is not the case anymore and I cannot connect to Team Foundation Server from any entry in VS (Team menu or Team explorer window).
For instance, nothing happens when I click this link:
No modal error window, no indication of an error occuring in windows event viewer or in VS ActivityLog file in roaming directory, so I assume that there was no error.
I tried these and it changed nothing :
The only working part left of VS was the source control explorer. Appart from starting and using source control explorer, VS is unusable. e.g. when I started a web application using VS development server, I got an error message saying that my VS installation was probably corrupted. The only way around was to uninstall and reinstall VS. Some of my co workers have installed Update 4 and do not experience the same issue. But this Stackoverflow question is about the same bug.
Team explorer window is very different without Update 4.
From event viewer, I see errors which all have the same pattern. Their occuring time match my attempts to install VS 2012 Update 4
Here are their data (I have filtered and removed duplicates)
Here is an export of my corrupted VS2012 installation info :
