I posted this title to the VS install forum thinking it was a configuration issue and one of the moderators moved it over here as a TFS issue. However, it left my name off of the post and the "Reply" link, or any other link on the page, is nonresponsive, indicating a javascriptvoid(0) link name in lower left corner. The only reply from the moderator mentioned comparison of the local and server version. I have done this hundreds of times and always the two versions are identical. Yet, Visual Studio insists on adding an edit asterisk to the tab and TFS requests that I check-out the module EVEN THOUGH NOTHING HAS CHANGED! When closing the tab, it always asks me if want to save the module and since I made no change, I always reply "NO!" Closing VS and rebooting does nothing to help with this situation. WHY does your software insist that a module was changed when there was no change and even the comparison of the local and server versions confirms there was no change to the .aspx or .cs file. Additionally, it sometime requests that I check-out the license .lic file and other supporting files such as the .proj file, again when no change or modification was made.
This is very irritating and I do not know what other information I could possibly elaborate or what good any screen shots would do in describing this condition other than waste my and your time. It is not a coding issue, or anything to do with specific solution and/or project, as it occurs with all solutions, projects, and editable files that are opened in my version of VS 2012 Ultimate without ever having edited a thing.
OS-wise, I am currently using Windows 8.1 Enterprise with all the latest updates on an HP laptop with an i7-4600U CPU @ 2.10GHz and with 16GB of RAM.
