I was having this issue. In my case it was due to the fact that my network administrator has powershell locked down, and cannot be run without administrator permissions. I closed VS and ran it as admin and was able to run package manager commands like add-migration.

install Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools from NuGet packages, then try to run Add-Migration on the package manager console. Hope it helps.

Hi

Add-Migration is part of Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools. You can install the package from NuGet.

dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools --version 7.0.5

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools/

Best Regards,
