  • I have struck this before. You need to connect to the TFS server before this window ever shows anywhere (which I found really frustrating). I don't have a windows computer here to verify, but this feels very familiar: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58297628/how-to-connect-visual-studio-2019-to-tfs – GregHNZ Jul 24 '22 at 06:16

Please note that the "Source control explorer" is only applied to TFVC repositories. So, we have to connect to an Azure DevOps server(TFS) TFVC repository first.

Please follow below steps to show the "Source control explorer" in VS 2022 Community:

  1. View -> Team Explorer enter image description here

  2. Manage Connections -> Connect to a project enter image description here

  3. Add an Azure DevOps server (TFS) -> Select a TFVC project repo -> Connect enter image description here

  4. After that, go to View -> Other Windows to check the Source control explorer option. enter image description here
