Windows Forms application option seems to be missing?

Question

I'm learning how to design a Windows Forms Application in Visual Studio 2017. The tutorial asks me to create a new project using the File -> New -> Project option and selecting 'Windows Forms Application' in the new project dialog box.

However, when I explore this option in Visual Basic, my New Project dialog window only has three options, and the Windows Forms Application is not one of them (see screenshot - attached).

Just wondered if anyone might be able to suggest how to get this option to appear? I have tried looking for the correct option in the Visual Studio installer, but I cannot find it their either.

Screenshot attached.

Answer 1

Because you need to install it.

Go to Visual Studio Installer from the start and check the checkbox .NET Desktop Development.

After that restart the VS 2017.

Answer 2

Open Visual Studio Installer, ‘Modify’ your installation and install the ‘.Net Desktop Development’ workload.
