Web tab missing from Property Pages menu in Visual Studio

Question

I have the Web tab missing from the property pages in VS 2012(Don't ask why I'm using the old one) on all projects I have not installed any extensions or tools (Except NuGet package manager), and it's a fairly new install

I've seen these and none of them help me

Visual studio project properties tab "web" missing

Debug Tab missing from property page in VS2013

Compile Tab missing from project properties in Visual Studio 2012

Answer 1

I had just one web project with missing web tab. Other projects were working fine. I did the below to fix my problem.

Right click on the project name and click "Unload project", then edit the project and see if you have the below tag with GUIDs in it. (If not I copied it from another web project.)

<ProjectTypeGuids>{xxxx};{xxx}</ProjectTypeGuids>

This tag should decide the type of the proeject.
