Visual Studio hangs at installing the Windows 10 SDK. To work around the issue, execute in a command prompt:
"c:\windows\syswow64\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoLogo -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -InputFormat None -Command "& """C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Packages\Win10SDK_10.0.14393.795,version=10.0.14393.79501\WinSdkInstall.ps1""" -SetupExe sdksetup.exe -SetupLogFolder standalonesdk -PackageId Win10SDK_10.0.14393.795 -SetupParameters """/features OptionId.AvrfExternal OptionId.WindowsSoftwareDevelopmentKit OptionId.WindowsSoftwareLogoToolkit OptionId.NetFxSoftwareDevelopmentKit /quiet /norestart"""; exit $LastExitCode"
Unfortunately, the UI lacks a way to reinstall or install dependent packages such that users have to install packages using the package manager console.
First, navigate to Tools
→NuGet Package Manager
→Package Manager Console
and then issue the following within the pane that opens up (more than likely, atthe bottom of the Visual Studio workspace):
Update-Package -reinstall
Visual Studio will now start installing the dependent packages.
