If a file is modified in Visual Studio, the files are automatically checked out from Team Foundation Server. However, sometimes there are files not modified in VS, is there command to check out those modified files only?

Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2022 - Azure DevOps Server 2019 | TFS 2018. Visual Studio 2019 | Visual Studio 2022. The TFVC checkout or edit command checks out a file and changes its pending change status to edit. You can call this command by using either checkout or edit .
Right-click your project or project suite in the Project Explorer and then click Source Control > Check Out for Edit. Click Check Out for Edit on the Source Control toolbar (if the toolbar is hidden, right-click the toolbar area and select Source Control). Start editing the needed project item.
Simply go to View > Team Explorer then browse to the collection/project you are working on and double click on "Source Control" to open the source control explorer. This then will show you the directory listing system where you can see who has checked out which file and what kind of check out.
If you download the Team Foundation Server power tools, you can use the "tfpt online" command line.
That said, I would try and avoid this way of working. TFS much prefers to know about files that you are checking out before you start editing them and your interaction with TFS will be much happier if you can do this.
The same power tools can optionally install Windows Explorer integration for TFS which will allow you to check the files out easily outside of Visual Studio.
