If dotnet sdk projects with assemblyname and project file name which don't match, restore fails in 15.4
Trying to load a solution with mixed in project types: .NET Core and a legacy package ref. The background restore operation fails with the message:
"Error occurred while restoring NuGet packages: The given key was not present in the dictionary."
The solution worked perfectly well in 15.3 before the update. 15.5 preview 1 is also broken.

Attempted to update a newly downloaded Xamarin Forms application from Azure. While attempting to update the nuget packages the update process freeezes. I have completed a complete reinstall of VS 2017 15.4 with the same results.
Keith, can you please file an issue at https://github.com/NuGet/Home/issues/ ? That will allow us to track the problem that you are facing.
I'm running into this issue also, I'm running VS 2017 professional v15.4.1
Just an update from my standpoint. I took the measure of uninstalling VS 2017 15.4. Along with that I uninstalled all associated SDKs, Xamarin, Azure (this was all on a Windows 10 PC). Also I deleted the VS2017 program directory entirely. After which I reinstalled VS 2017 15.4 (I noticed versions 15.4.1 was recently released). After the reinstall I tested that I could create a new C# Cross Platform app, that was successful. Then I Managed the Nuget packages for the App and was able to update and add Nuget packages without any program hangs or errors. I was also able to deploy in debug mode successfully. Next I opened the Azure created Xamarin forms app I was originally working on, I was first able to sucessfully build the app, and then able to manage the Nuget packages , both updating and installing new packages with no problems. So to summerize: Uninstall VS2017.Uninstall all SDKs (Via Windows Setting)Delete VS2017 program directoryReinstall VS2017 with your selected optionsCreate a quick Cross Paltfrom app and test.I hope this helps others with the same situation.

Well this might've caused one of my apps to choke and die. Now I am getting an Unhandled exception error after it has been installed for over a month.
