NuGet Package manager stuck on "Retrieving information..." on VS 2013

Question

Using VS 2013 with NuGet Package Manager installed, I can view all Installed packages, but when I pick Updates or Online, I get an endless busy indicator showing "Retrieving information..."

I've verified I have a good connection. I uninstalled/reinstalled NuGet Package Manager.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Answer 1

I'm using VS 2013 and all of suggested solutions has failed. I solved the problem by applying the following method :

1. Open package manager console in Visual Studio
2. Type: [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bOR [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

This will change the connection security protocol to nuget as specified in this article: Deprecating TLS 1.0 and 1.1 on NuGet.org

Answer 2

May be it will help someone. My problem was with Nuget Package Manager. I've just updated its version.

To update Nuget Package Manager you need go to the menu under Tools -> Extensions and Updates -> Updates tab -> Visual Studio Gallery.
