You can use the Package Manager Console window of Nuget to do that.

Create a new text file in the directory "C:\Users{your user}\Documents\WindowsPowerShell" named "NuGet_profile.ps1" and add the following code:

function Disable-CodeAnalysis(){
  ForEach ($project in $dte.Solution.Projects) {
    Set-CodeAnalysis($project, $false)
  }
}

function Enable-CodeAnalysis(){
  ForEach ($project in $dte.Solution.Projects) {
    Set-CodeAnalysis($project, $true)
  }
}

function Set-CodeAnalysis($project, $value){
  $projectName = $project.Name
  $projectFilePath = $project.FullName
  if ([System.String]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($projectFilePath)){
    if($proj.Kind -eq "{66A26720-8FB5-11D2-AA7E-00C04F688DDE}"){
      ForEach ($item in $proj.ProjectItems) {
        if($item.SubProject -ne $null){
          Set-CodeAnalysis($item.SubProject, $value)
        }
      }
    }
    continue;
  }
  $xmlDocument = new-object System.Xml.XmlDocument
  $action = "Enable"
  if($value -ne $true){
    $action = "Disable"
  }

  Write-Host "$action code analysis for $projectName at $projectFilePath"
  $xmlDocument.Load([string]$projectFilePath);

  $namespaceManager = new-object System.Xml.XmlNamespaceManager($xmlDocument.NameTable);
  $namespaceManager.AddNamespace("ns", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003");

  $nodes = $xmlDocument.SelectNodes("//ns:RunCodeAnalysis", $namespaceManager);
  if ($nodes -eq $null){
    continue;
  }
  foreach ($node in $nodes){
    $node.InnerText = "$value";
  }
  $xmlDocument.Save($projectFilePath);
}

Restart Visual Studio. Click the menu "View" | "Other Windows" | "Package Manager Console". Now you can execute the following commands:

> Enable-CodeAnalysis
> Disable-CodeAnalysis
