GetAdditionalResourcesFromAssemblies Error when building Xamarin.Android in Visual Studio

When I build my Xamarin.Android project in Visual Studio I get the following error. Strange thing is that it worked 2 days ago, but since then I did not change any code.

Any ideas on how to fix it? 

Severity    Code    Description Project File    Line    Suppression State
Error       The "GetAdditionalResourcesFromAssemblies" task could not be instantiated from "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Xamarin\Android\Xamarin.Android.Build.Tasks.dll".

This is related to Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS). If possible you can disable FIPS by going to Administrative Tools | Local Security Policy | Local Polices | Security Options | System cryptography: Use FIPS. Change the setting to Disabled.

Note that, if your PC is part of a Windows Domain, there may be a Group Policy that re-enables this setting every time you reboot your PC.
