I can't find "Windows Forms App (.NET Framework)" in Visual Studio 2022 (free download)

I used VB6 a couple of decades ago, now I need VB again. Got the free download from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/. Started the tutorial at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/create-a-visual-basic-winform-in-visual-studio?view=vs-2022. Step 3 says to click the "Windows Forms App (.NET Framework)" selection. That is not on my list (see below, which is not the same as the other thread in stackoverflow with a similar title). What am I missing? My "Create a new project" screen Installer parameters The list filtered on the language Visual Basic

The same was happening to me. I found out that I was starting "Blend for Visual Studio 2022" which turns out to be whole different IDE.

Run Visual Studio Installer, then make sure you select ".NET desktop development" option.

Gee, something has gone wrong here. I would try to un-check the .net desktop development. Let it update. And then close, re-open, and then try adding .net desktop development again.

I have all of these selected:

And then when I go create new project, then I can filter and see this:

Note in above, you want to choose the 2nd choice (.net framework - always).
