The Visual Studio can't find Entity Framework

Question

I have created a new MVC Web App project in the Visual Studio 2019 (Targeting .NET 5.0)

Now I want to install EntityFrameworkCore, but it doesn't appear on the list when I search in the NuGet manager. If I type "entity", only 3 options appear. If I type more than that, nothing more appears.

I also tried typing (in the console manager)

Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore -Version 5.0.11

and getting this error:

    `Install-Package : NU1101: Unable to find package` 
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor.RuntimeCompilation. No packages exist with this id in source(s): Microsoft Visual Studio Offline Packag
    es
    At line:1 char:1
    + Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore -Version 5.0.11
    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NuGetCmdletUnhandledException,NuGet.PackageManagement.PowerShellCmdlets.InstallPackageCommand

I also tried cleaning and building the project several times. The VS2019 I recently just installed. What might be wrong?

In the Visual Studio go to Tools ► Options. Select NuGet Package Manager. Check that you have Package sources: is including nuget.org set to https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json:

Then Tools ► NuGet Package Manager ► Manage NuGet Packages for Solution.... Open the Browse tab.

Select nuget.org in the Package source: combo-box:
