missing "ASP.NET Core Web Application (.NET Core)" template in Visual studio 2015 update 3?

Question

I have Visual studio 2015 update 3. and I don't see the ASP.NET Core Web Application (.NET Core) template.

Do I need to switch to Visual Studio "15" Preview 4 ? https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/vs15-relnotes

Or will it get added to VS 2015 ? What am I missing?

Answer 1

I faced the same problem...,

Solution that worked for me:

went to Tools > Extensions and Updates > Updates

if the problem is an outdated extension, you will see it under updates else you can search for it in the online tab or you can use this Link which worked for me.

But I recommend that you use visual studio to get the current version.

Make sure to close visual studio before performing the install.
