Unable to find MAUI project type after installation

Question

After installing MAUI, I am unable to see the project type. I have tried reinstallation and removing and adding the module again, but to no avail. I have already selected the NET Multi-platform on workloads option and tried reinstalling using the command prompt and interface. Can someone please help me solve this issue as I have an important homework project to complete? Thank you.

Hello @Ben Nzuzi ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

Please close VS, search "Edit the system environment variables" in Windows Search box, open it, click Environment Variables button, in System variables list, select Path, click Edit.

Find C:\Program Files\dotnet\, and if you can also find C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet, then please try to move up C:\Program Files\dotnet\ and let it list higher than C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet, so that the C:\Program Files\dotnet\ can be firstly detected. After that click OK, close the windows. Reboot your machine and launch VS, check again.

Sincerely,

Tianyu
