Issue with "Windows Form App" Disappearing in VB.NET 2022 Hello everyon

Question

I'm facing a problem with VB.NET 2022 that I recently installed on my PC. I'm new to programming, so I'd appreciate some guidance on this issue.

The problem I'm encountering is related to the "Windows Form App" template in VB.NET 2022. Here's what's happening:

Initial Launch: When I launch VB.NET 2022 for the first time and create a new project using the "Windows Form App" template, everything works as expected. The form is displayed correctly.

Subsequent Launches: However, if I close VB.NET and reopen it, the "Windows Form App" template seems to be missing. It's not available in the list of project templates. This happens every time I close and reopen VB.NET.

1. Opening Previous Projects: Additionally, if I try to open a project that I created using the "Windows Form App" template, I encounter an error message.

I'm really eager to learn and get started with programming, so this issue is quite frustrating for me. As a beginner, I would greatly appreciate any assistance or guidance you can provide to help me resolve this problem.

Thank you so much for your time and help!

Best regards,

Mohammad Ishaq

Hi @Mohammad Ishaq ,

What exactly is the error message？

Have you tried Repair Visual Studio?

Or try updating Visual Studio to the latest version.

Best Regards.
