Multiple dll reference failure on nuget reinstall

Question

I am getting multiple The referenced component <packagename> cannot be found when i do a nuget reinstall for my project. There are no build errors and i have to manually delete the erroneous references from the project to fix this 'annoyance'. Does anyone know why Im this is happening? (see screenshot).

I am using visual studio 2017 and .NET 4.6.1 and netstandard2.0 is installed. The project type is class library and If i look in the bin folder, it seems there is an additional xml file for each erroneous reference.

It seems it was part of a known issue with VS2017 and netstandard2.0. After stumbling across this github release note page and installing this package, it solved my issue. NETStandard.Library.NETFramework , link to nuget - https://www.nuget.org/packages/NETStandard.Library.NETFramework/
