Note: I can see it removing Json and then adding it again then it rolls everything back.

Update:

This one works Install-Package Google.Apis.AnalyticsReporting.v4 -Version 1.25.0.847 everything after that results in an error. Same thing on just a console application so it has nothing to do with the project type.

Same here. Issue is with the Newtonsoft package. I'm unable to install, or update to, version 10.x.x. No problem with version 9.0.1

[LindaLawton]

Which version of visual Studio are you using?

[mijikin]

2015, same as you. But latest Newtonsoft "requires NuGet 2.12 or higher". Have to figure out which version of NuGet is running with this version of VS.

[mijikin]

VS About box says NuGet Package Manager 3.3.0, so that should be good.

Found this elsewhere: "For anyone having this issue, the problem is with the URL https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/. Update your application to use https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json instead and it will install properly".

Wrong button! Let me check my installation

That worked. Thanks!

For those who are wondering how to change URL,
Refer this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/tools/package-manager-ui#install-options

Mine is already https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json but still can't get installed.
