OK here is how i solved it.

The files were locked by windows and its only visible in debug

I had to go to each .dll file that showed up in the error, and in the properties there was a button UNBLOCK and ones i applied the changes the errors was gone

Instead of unblock all files one by one, you can do it from root folder by using Windows PowerShell:

dir D:\Projects\Nop -recurse | Unblock-File

To unblock files use this command on Windows Powershell:

gci PASTE_FOLDER_PATH_HERE\*.dll -Recurse | Unblock-File

1) "gci" is used to load all files located under the specified path.
2) "-Recurse" is used to load files located in sub folders under the specified path.

Yes, It worked for me in a way right click on NopCommerce\packages\Autofac.3.5.2\lib\net40\AutoFac.dll then Unblock & finally click on OK, it will resolve this issue. I resolved this issue in this way.

get-childitem *.*| Unblock-File

For those limited in their PowerShell options:

FOR %a in (*.*) do (echo.>%a:Zone.Identifier)
