To resolve this problem, take the following steps:
- Delete the contents of the Cache folder. The cache folder's location is specified in the main SharePoint web.config file as an application setting with key WorkItemTrackingCacheRoot. If this information is missing, the default location is under \ProgramData\Microsoft\Team Foundation\Web Access.
- After deletion the next reload of the TFS Project Portal page should rebuild this cache and restore the expected display of the TWA webparts.
If there is a significant amount of cached data, which can occur if there are a large number of TFS Team Projects or users, the subsequent first page- load attempt may report a timeout error. If this occurs, the timeout and executiontimeout values in the web.config file for the root SharePoint site should be increased to allow for complete cache regeneration.
