Console template in Visual studio 2013 not there?

So today I downloaded visual studio 2013 express twice (the download was canceled the first time) And when I opened it, it told me to get a windows 8 licence, and I did... The thing is, when I want to start a new project, the only template available are store app... Here's a screenshot: https://i.sstatic.net/3DCQH.png

I am aware back in visual studio 2010, there was an option for console application and I wonder where it is... Maybe I am being stupid, but I do need help! I do not want to create windows 8 application :/.

Any help would be great!

AFAIK, the version that you require to create a console application is "Express 2013 for Windows Desktop"

There are 3 versions of Visual Studio Express.

all three versions are found here: http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-express-vs.aspx

"Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 with Update 4 for Windows Desktop" is the current version; one can choose between "install now" and a .iso image.

You have most likely downloaded VISUAL STUDIO 2013 EXPRESS FOR WINDOWS (STORE).

You need the edition for Windows Desktop, located here. See all links and editions in Scott Hanselman's recent blog post.
