    You can set AutoLoadServer registry key to 0.

    Navigate to Team Foundation key

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\TeamFoundation

    Add a registry key AutoLoadServer of type REG_DWORD

    enter image description here

    Set the value to 0 so that VS doesn’t connect to TFS automatically on startup

    Or create a *.reg file with the following:

    Visual Studio 2010

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\TeamFoundation]
    "AutoLoadServer"=dword:00000000

    Visual Studio 2013

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\TeamFoundation]
    "AutoLoadServer"=dword:00000000

    Visual Studio 2015

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\TeamFoundation]
    "AutoLoadServer"=dword:00000000
