Windows service template missing?

When I go to create a new project, the "Windows Service" template isn't there!

Can someone please either tell me where I can get it, or provide a download link to it?

In Visual Studio 2015 I could not find the Windows Service template by selecting anything in left pane. Including c# -> Windows. However, when I query 'Windows Service' in the search bar at the top right corner, voilà, templates for c# or VB show up.

Path to windows service template

The confusion is because Microsoft's own walkthrough doesn't give the full path to the project template: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zt39148a(v=vs.110).aspx
