Team Foundation Server Update 1: Viewing the Kanban board

With the release of Update 1 for Team Foundation Server 2012, Microsoft added a Kanban board to the list of available features.

But where can I find this feature? If I click on View board in the ACTIVITIES list on the team home page, I end up at the original task board.

Same thing if I click on the board menu option that appears on the Product Backlog page.

So how can I open the Kanban board?

  • Highlight Product Backlog in the explorer pane and choose the board tab.

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete .
