I have same problem like someone have here:

Visual Studio get stuck on "Restoring packages for solution"

I try the following:

1. Clear nuget cache from Tools menu. and temp, %temp% folders from RUN command.
2. Clear visual studio cache from here. C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\17.0_27e1b93f
3. Clear .vs hidden folder of solution.
4. Clean and Rebuild Solution. But stuck into Restoring Nuget packages...)
5. I wait 15 minutes. But nothing happened.... (There's bug here?)
6. I only use less than 7 nuget packages from nuget.org

Here's Visual Studio Log:

More Information:

1. I use old *.csproj project template (non-sdk)
2. I use PackageReference not packages.config
3. .NET 4.8
4. Windows 7
5. No proxy used. and official nuget.org/api/.... works in browser.

NOTE: this happened when I re-installed operating system.... Sometimes it took time. Sometimes it freeze and hangs on Restoring Nuget packages... message

Please how to solve that?

CodePudding user response：

According to your description I think the problem is that you used PackageReference and use nuget.exe to restore the packages.

We can see from this link that For projects migrated to PackageReference, use msbuild -t:restore to restore packages instead.

You can try msbuild -t:restore instead of nuget restore ***.csproj to restore packages if you are using PackageReference. For more details, please refer to the above link
