Manage NUGET Packages menu missing after update

I have recently updated the package manager (VSIX extension) for NUGET to version 3.5. Afterwards I noticed the UI is missing:

enter image description here

Normally there is a 3rd menu item available enter image description here

(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?

Answer provided by Matt Ward, as taken from the comments:

"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."

Another possibility why it is missing is because you haven't created a solution file and just opened the project. Create a solution file and then re-load the solution in Visual Studio (thank you DeveloperDan for this hint).

(Note: The NUGET update I did required a restart of Visual Studio, and when I opened the Tools / Nuget Manager Menu after the restart I did not notice that the solution was closed.)

Maybe the option wasn't showing because the project was running?
