VS2013 or VS2015 shows "unspecified error"

When I open my worked solution (after merge from other branch) VS2013 shows error message "unspecified error" and I cannot close the window (the error's dialog jumps each time when I close it). VS2012 opens the solution without error messages. I suspect issue related to TFS configuration. How can I found actual reason of the error?

I still don't understand the actual reason for this error, but I found a workaround.

According to "Change source control" window (VS) solution file (.sln) not connected to TFS enter image description here

When I connected the solution to TFS in VS2012 (with the help of this link), VS2013 opened the solution too without error message.
