When we talk about 'pending changes' in TFS, it usually means modifications in your local workspace that aren't yet committed to the server. That's a huge number – 34,000! Could you walk us through the steps or scenario that resulted in so many pending changes?

you might try clearing the TFS cache:

note: support of repos with large numbers of files was the main reason MS switched to git from TFS. You might want to do also.
