title: Visual Studio 2017 Workspaces: How to set the default workspace?
body: <p>The latest update (2nd week of March, 2018) to VS seems to have broken it's ability to remember my workspace.  </p>
  
  <p>Prior to the update, I had no problems:  I would open VS, click the Team Explorer tab, and it would automatically connect to the last team project I was in and show the list of solutions.  In effect, it remembered my workspace (SELMER-LAPTOP).</p>
  
  <p>After the update:  I open VS and go to the Team Explorer tab and I see several prompts to "Configure your workspace" to open solutions for this project:</p>

  <p>If I go into "Configure your workspace" and click Advanced, I get the Add Workspace dialog prompting me to add "SELMER-LAPTOP-1" workspace:</p>

  <p>Oddly enough, I cancel out of all of that and then select the "Work Items" tab in Team Explorer, then go back to Team Explorer home, and it reconnects to my original Workspace:</p>

  <p>For some reason, VS seems to have forgotten how to connect to my workspace when I launch VS.  It still knows about it (as evidenced by the fact that I merely have to click the "Work Items" tab and then go back to Home for it to remember).</p>
  
  <p>What's going on here?  Is there some way to get VS to connect to my original workspace as it did before the update?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Steve</p>
