Visual Studio Queries open in Browser instead of inside Visual Studio


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?


Solution

  • 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".
