You seem to have created a windows form application (winforms), please choose console application.

When creating a new project, prefer using .NET over .NET Framework, unless you have a very specific reason to be using .NET Framework.
.NET Framework is now legacy code and only get security fix updates, it no longer gets new features and is not recommended.

If you are going to be using a console. Create a console application

If you want to use Winforms, but no console. Create a winforms project.

What workloads have you installed?

You can check that by searching for the program 'Visual Studio Installer'

Then press modify on your VS version, and then show that.

If you want both, a console and winforms stuff (for some reason)
u can use PInvoke to either create a console or to attach it to the parent process

The parent process ID for attachconsole is -1 or uint.MaxValue (depending on how u use PInvoke)
