Answer 2

You might also want to check if you have the latest version of the nuget extension. Although it should get updated automatically.

1. Go to Tools -> Extensions and Updates
2. On the top right, search installed for nuget.
3. Select nuget package manager from the result.
4. Ensure, "Automatically update this extension" checkbox is checked.

Also, click on "Updates" on the left to see if an update for nuget is available for you.

Answer 3

I think you need to install UWP tools, to do so, create new project -> Windows - > Universal, as attached.

Or you can download it separately from here
