Run NuGet update

Download nuget.exe from the NuGet website and specify the MSBuild path.

VS 2017 nuget update .\Test\Test.AP.Site.Test.csproj -msbuildpath "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\MSBuild\15.0\Bin" -Source

VS 2019

nuget update .\Test\Test.AP.Site.Test.csproj -msbuildpath "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\MSBuild\15.0\Bin" -Source

Restrict NuGet update versions

Edit package.config and add allowedVersions; this attribute prevents certain assemblies from being force-updated.

  1. package.config setting
<package id="Albireo.Base32" version="1.0.1.0" allowedVersions="[1.0.1.0]" targetFramework="net461" />
  1. What allowedVersions means
5.2 means ≥ 5.2
(,8.2] means ≤ 8.2
(7.3,) means > 7.2
(,6.5) means < 6.5
Use [] to specify an exact version  

P.S. If you need to change many packages at once, you can use a regex to do a bulk replace:
version="([^"]*)" with version="1"allowedVersions="[1" allowedVersions="[1]"

NuGet sources

nuget source 
nuget sources Add -Name "MyServer" -Source \\myserver\packages
nuget sources Disable -Name "MyServer"
nuget sources Enable -Name "nuget.org"

Clear the local NuGet cache

nuget locals list
nuget locals all -clear
