Hi @Dean Everhart

I'm having a hard time finding .net mvc C# option.

From your description, it seems that you didn't install the .Net Framework related template.

Try to open the Visual Studio Installer, and click the modify button:

Then in the popup window, go to the Individual components panel, selected the .Net Framework related SDK and Templates, after that click the Modify button.

Finally, re-open the Visual Studio, when create new project, you can find the .Net Framework template:

According to the screenshot you specifically selected an ASP.NET Core project. Select a .NET Framework project if you want to target .NET Framework.

You have the .NET Framework installed since you have ASP.NET Core. Anyway, make sure you have the correct workloads installed.
