Menu
I've recently switched from Visual Studio 2013 to 2015 and converted all of my old projects. However, now I can't seem to find my user tasks anymore? There used to be a drop-down menu in the task list, but it looks like that's gone in the new version, unless I'm missing something.
Have user tasks been removed? If so, is there a way I can still retrieve them from my project?

From within Visual Studio Go to View -> Task List. This will display the Task List window and show you any area of your open Solution that has existing comments that start with // TODO . You can filter down to your Current Project, Current Document, or Open Documents.
Comments TODO is one of the identifiers that is in Visual Studio by default. We can create an identifier of our own. Click "Tools" -> "Options". In the Options dialog, select "Environment" -> "Task List".
Manages tasks in Visual Studio Code in a custom activity view.
Use Task List to track code comments that use tokens such as TODO and HACK , or custom tokens, and to manage shortcuts that take you directly to a predefined location in code. Click on the item in the list to go to its location in the source code. Note. This topic applies to Visual Studio on Windows.
The documentation on MSDN has been updated with this paragraph:
The user task feature has been removed in Visual Studio 2015. When you open a solution which has user task data from Visual Studio 2013 and earlier in Visual Studio 2015, the user task data in your .suo file will not be affected, but the user tasks will not be displayed in the task list.
If you wish to continue to access and update your user task data, you should open the project in Visual Studio 2013 and copy the content of any user tasks into your preferred project management tool (such as Team Foundation Server).

Using the Task List
It doesn't work for me either, but you likely have more practice with Visual Studio than I do...
