It should be a Visual Studio 2017 credential cached token issue. You could try below ways to clear cache:

1. Close all Visual Studio instances.

2. Delete %LOCALAPPDATA%.IdentityService.

There are some identity related caching going on in there, deleting the folder will force the identity system to rebuild its cache.

• Also Clear TFS related caches %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\x.0\Cache

• Run Visual Studio as another user:

  cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE

  runas /netonly /user: devenv.exe

  Enter the user password, then Team Explorer > Manage Connections
