In Visual Studio 2017 When I am clicking on a Query it opens in a browser instead of opening (like it used to) inside visual studio

How can I change this to be opened in visual studio?

In Visual Studio 2017 (aka VS version 15) the default behaviour for opening work items has been changed to browser. You can switch back to the old behaviour: Open Tools > Options > Work Items and change "Open work items in" to "Visual Studio".

    FWIW: In VS2019, under Work Items -> General. It is now called "Landing Page: Legacy Experience". – Steve Aug 20 '20 at 16:21
  • In VS 2022 it's _Landing Page: Legacy Experience (compatibility mode)_ and it "will be deprecated in the next major version of Visual Studio." – eyelesscactus54 Jul 19 '23 at 14:03
