.NET 7 framework does not show up in Visual Studio 2022 version 17.4

Question

After a long absence of C# I re-installed Visual Studio Community Version 2022 17.4.3.

Then I installed dotnet-sdk-7.0.101-win-x64.

Then I try to start a new console .NET application but I don't have the option to chose the .NET 7 framework. It goes only to up to to 4.8. Is that normal? What should I do to make version 7 visible?

Answer 1

Manually update Visual Studio 2022 to the latest version.

For some reason it doesn't automatically update to 17.5.x, which is required for .NET 7.0
