UI Option missing when adding new item.

I'm using the latest version of Visual Studio 2022 as of 11/8/22.
I created a winform app for visual c++ cli.
Desktop development with C++ and .NET desktop development workloads are installed.
I have no problem working with the main form, although Visual Studio 2022 is a bit flaky when it comes to displaying the form designer.
When I try to add another form by selecting Project->Add New Item... the UI option is missing.
So, it's impossible to add another form to the app.
My question then, is what do I have to do to make the UI option available?

    Hi, @Kurt Kregger

    Try installing C++/CLI in Visual Studio Installer. CppCLR_WinFormsProject looks like a user-defined project template.

    @ MinxinYu I did not have Project->Add New Item ->CLR option.
    @Viorel Selecting the project node doesn't seem to make any difference.
