❔ Visual Studio not producing templates?
Hey everyone, I'm attempting to teach myself C# via this website " https://www.w3schools.com/cs/cs_getstarted.php " (Link included since I'm following the steps listed in it) One of the steps states that you must install the " Console App (.NET Core) ". Yet, I don't see any option to do that. When I click the link to install more tools and features it just re-directs me to the Visual Studios installer for more languages. I saw on the VS website forums post that Microsoft says to just install the .Net SDK from the individual components tab (The Microsoft employee never specified which SDK so I have 4.8 and 4.8.1 installed) but that a patch should be coming "soon". Does anyone know a workaround?

Then click on the "Install more tools and features" button:
You mean this?
yeah, is's kinda stupidly described, they mean you just intall .net desktop development and then just select ConsoleApp from list on Create a new project tab
Like this
when you installed VS did you select the .net desktop workload?
you can open the visual studio installer -> change
to add/remove workloads
Pics included to reference. I already have the .NET desktop development installed. When I click on "create a new project" I'm brought to Pic 1. I don't see any dropdowns for templates and when I search for console app in the search bar nothing appears. When I click install more toold and features I'm brought to pic 2. I'm not entirely sure if I'm overlooking something insanely simple or what 😅 😅
Yup

Do you have dotnet core sdk installed?
I'm not seeing what you typed in the sidebar. I don't think I have it installed? Maybe I'm looking in the wrong location though
Go to the individual components tab from top, choose .net 6 or 7

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.
