Menu
I have recently updated the package manager (VSIX extension) for NUGET to version 3.5. Afterwards I noticed the UI is missing:
Normally there is a 3rd menu item available
(right between console and settings menu items), which opens the dialog for searching, installing, updating and removing nuget packages.
I tried to uninstall/reinstall it, but had no luck. Also looking in Google and on the NuGET site did not help me finding an answer.
Can someone help, please?

The Add NuGet packages menu will be disabled if a project is not selected in the Solution window. Which is my guess as to why it is disabled for you. Update and Restore NuGet packages is available if a solution or project is selected.
In Solution Explorer, right-click References and choose Manage NuGet Packages. If you want more information on the NuGet Package Manager, see Install and manage packages using Visual Studio. Accept any license prompts. If prompted to review changes, select OK.
Enable package restore by choosing Tools > Options > NuGet Package Manager. Under Package Restore options, select Allow NuGet to download missing packages. In Solution Explorer, right click the solution and select Restore NuGet Packages.
Switch to the Browse tab, search for the package name, select it, then select Install). For all packages, delete the package folder, then run nuget install . For a single package, delete the package folder and use nuget install <id> to reinstall the same one.
"The Manage NuGet Packages for Solution menu is the third menu. That is only shown, if a solution is open in Visual Studio 2015. It is also available if you right click the solution in the Solution Explorer."
Update a package In Solution Explorer, right-click either References or the desired project, and select Manage NuGet Packages.... (In web site projects, right-click the Bin folder.) Select the Updates tab to see packages that have available updates from the selected package sources.
1 Go to Tools> Options> NuGet Package Manager> General. Then select the Allow NuGet to download missing packages and A utomatically check for missing packages during build in Visual Studio checkboxes in Package Restore. These options are already active by default.
Manage NuGet Packages dialog missing VS2017. According to some of your own troubleshootings, it seems your Visual Studio/NuGet is corrupt. So you can try to open the Visual Studio Installer, then navigate to individual components tab, find the checkbox NuGet Package manager, remove it by uncheck that checkbox.
Maybe the option wasn't showing because the project was running?
