How to force NuGet packages Restore in Visual Studio?

Question

Sometimes i have a bad connection or VPN issues and when I open the project Visual Studio starts to restore the packages and fails.

Is there a way to force NuGet packages Restore in Visual Studio at any time? Restoring it via command line is not a suitable solution, I'm looking at a solution where i can do it in Visual Studio directly.

Answer 1

In Visual Studio 2022, in Solution Explorer view, right click on the solution and select Restore NuGet Packages
