When I used to use vs2015, the package manager console would always appear at the bottom when opening a solution.

I'm currently on vs2017, and wheneever I open a solution I need to open the console manually.

How can I set this to appear by default when opening vs?

How can I set this to appear by default when opening vs?

This is related to your Visual Studio settings. If you close the package manager console window before you close the Visual Studio, that window would not appear by default when you open the Visual Studio again.

This is by design. So if you want to set the package manager console to appear by default when opening vs, you should make sure not close this window the last time you close Visual Studio.

If above not help you, please try to reset the Visual Studio window layout, go to Tools > Import and Export Settings > Reset all settings

Be sure you back up your settings before you do this. Then open the Visual Studio and open the window package manager console:

Hope this helps.

  • Thanks for answering Leo, but unfortunately neither of those methods worked for me. When I open vs there is not console visible – Bassie Oct 10 '18 at 07:18
  • When you manually open the console window, then close the VS and re-open it, that window not visible? If yes, what is the version of your VS? Have you update it to the latest version and try to repair it? – Leo Liu Oct 10 '18 at 07:23
  • I have version `15.6.6`. I am opening the console with Tools -> Nuget PAckage Manager -> Package Manager Console, is that the correct way? I will see if there are any updates – Bassie Oct 10 '18 at 07:25
  • @Bassie, Yes, that is the correct way. If I open it on that way, then I close the VS, and re-open the VS, that window is visible, usually it is folded up. – Leo Liu Oct 10 '18 at 07:31
