Visual Studio 2022 build takes forever and the same project works fine with Visual Studio 2019 on the same machine
On build, got NuGet package restore error:
NuGet package restore failed. Please see Error List window for detailed warnings and errors. Error occurred while restoring NuGet packages: The operation failed as details for project API.Tests could not be loaded.
Tried clearing packages cache, resetting settings, deleting .vs folder & also clearing %temp% prefetch

Step 1: Navigate to Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Settings
Step 2: Enable the "Allow NuGet to download missing packages" checkbox, under the "Package Restore" header

Fortunately, it is now fixed in the latest Visual Studio 17.5.0 Preview 6.0 https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/preview/
There is an alternative in this answer, but while it helps when using command line, it is still very annoying for anything inside Visual Studio 2022. I am hitting it on many scenarios, like trying to run tests after build was successful.
VIsual Studio 2022 stuck on Restoring Nuget packages
