UWP project cannot find System.Data version 4.0.0.0

Question

I'm working on a UWP application and when trying to activate a function from System.Data.Sqlclient this exception pops up:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: 'Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'. The system cannot find the file specified.'

NuGet can't seem to find the file and I don't know how to resolve the issue. Has anyone had this problem before?

Just to add information on the specific project: Its Target version is Windows 10, version 1809 and the Min version is Windows 10, November update (builds 17763 and 10586 respectively).

The most relevant answer I found was in here: System.Data Assembly Not found but I could not find an app.config file in my project.

Note that you can always add an app.config yourself. – Wai Ha Lee Feb 27 '19 at 13:00 — Wai Ha Lee, Feb 27 '19 at 13:00

Please try to make the project's min version is 16299 or higher. The 10586 doesn't support .NET Standard 2.0.

The .Net Standard 2.0 has only been supported since the Fall Creators Update (build 16299).
