'Work Items, Pull Requests menu not visible in Visual Studio
I'm using VSTS and Visual Studio enterprise on two different machines (both VS2015U3 on Win10). The project has a git-repository. On one machine I do have all expected menu's (https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/connect/work-team-explorer ) on the other some (pull requests, work items) are missing. On both machines editing code and commiting/synching works fine.
Any suggestions ?

I had the same issue. It was resolved by re-connecting to the tfs-server. on VS 2017 Team Explorer go to 'Manage Connections' and 'Add Server'.

Steps using VS (Visual Studio) 2019:
- Manage Connections > Connect to a Project...
- Expand server, and project to find the repo you want, then
- If it is already cloned, "Connect" should be the default option - click it!
And why Microsoft doesn't just auto-magically do this bewilders me! I could sync and all, but no Pull-request until I jump through this little connect to the server/project/repo steps..

This happened to me after I upgraded Visual Studio 2017 to 15.6.2. I was able to push my changed to the server, commit, sync, etc. but for some reason when I tried to make a Pull Request, that option was not listed in Team Explorer. I searched and found this solution to help out. Still unsure why I could push/sync, but could not do a pull request since it said I was not connected to the TFS server.
Once I reconnected, the Pull Request option re-appeared and I could make my Pull Request. Hope this help others.

I had the same issue. I was not able to create a Pull Request from Visual Studio. This started happening when I changed my computer password. The solution is that you connect again with your project.
