Opening up a form in designer view does not show the designer

The wanted result:

I want to be able to edit a c# form in a designer view that resembles the following picture: Picture of drag and drop designer view

The Problem:

I created a default windows form C# program in VS. When I right click Form1.cs and I choose View Designer

I am presented with *this* page filled with code instead of the expected drag and drop form editor.

Other things I tried:

I tried pressing shift+F7 in the open form 1 but it brings me back to the page filled with code.

Does anyone know how to open the GUI drag and drop editor in VS?

I had created a C# program with the .net core instead of the .net framework. The GUI editor is only available for the windows form applications created with the .net framework.

Thanks to @Jimi for helping me find the answer in the comments section.
