Fetching Nuget update list takes very long time

In Visual Studio, if I right click a project and select "Manage NuGet Packages", it takes 1-2 minutes to bring up a list of updates.

My projects have around 30 nuget packages installed (I shouldnt think that's enough to justify 2 minutes of version checking)

If I go to the Installed tab, some of the packages show an up arrow, so it already knows which packages need updates... So why does the Updates tab take forever?

Additionally, if I close the Nuget screen and reopen... The updates tab will take another 2 minutes to load, even though 10 seconds ago it had fetched the list.

Things I have tried:

I am using VS 2019 16.11.1

I have tried VS 2022 Preview 3.1, but the nuget updates screen won't load even after waiting 5min (then I gave up and went back to 2019)

Is there a way I can speed up fetching the list of Nuget Updates?

In my case, "Installed" and "Updates" took a long time to load. The problem was that some packages required additional info from Microsoft, which was blocked on proxy. Resolved with changing VS2022 proxy (devenv.exe) to another one.

Although the checking time will become longer if more NuGet packages have been installed, I believe this is a potential issue, and at least checking for a long time every time may not be a good experience.

I have reported this issue to Microsoft Developer Community, and here is the link.

I have checked the related options about setting NuGet and NuGet Package Manager but indeed there are fewer options to set. And I think re-check/reload the Updates list is by design and cannot be changed by simply changing a single option. But perhaps there are still something that we can do:

1). Tools > Options > NuGet Package Manager > Package Sources > Only choose and select the used Source, such as nuget.org and Microsoft Visual Studio Offline Packages.

2). Right-click project > Manage NuGet Packages… > on the top right corner, select nuget.org instead of All.(This should be based on the specific requirement)
