You may be facing this issue when working with recently installed Visual Studio.

Root Cause:

By default, Visual Studio comes with only one source of NuGet package, which is Microsoft Visual Studio Offline Packages. See the below picture.

Solution

To fix this issue, just add one more NuGet package source with the below values.

• Name: nuget.org
• Source: https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json

That's all :)
