VisualStudio 2017 Console Project template missing

Question

Yes, i've tried devenv/install, with no help. So, I don't have the Console C# Project option when creating the project, as shown here Currently i have installed windows basic pack - there's my 'about' screen.

I have just reinstalled Windows because i was getting the same exact problem on old system, and because VS2015 had interface bugs and crashed consequently, but it didn`t help(as well as reinstalling both VS 2015 and 2017 numerous times) Hope that you can guess whats wrong with my PC.

Solution 1

Visual Studio 2017 setup allows you to very fine-grainedly install various "components" separately, or groups of components delivered as "workloads".

You're missing the workload named ".NET desktop development", which contains among others these project templates. So re-run setup and install that workload.

Solution 2

You have a link, Open Visual Studio Installer in a New Project window that will allow you modify your installed components

is there any way to install the templates without the baggage which comes with workloads? For example, .netcore workload has SQL, ASP and other things I don't need.
