What happened was 1st I installed Visual Studio 2019 latest version, I selected .NET Framework and continued with the installation, Once It finished I opened it and searched for "Console Application" But there were none with "(.NET Core)"

Here's a picture: 127153-screenshot-2.jpg

Now, I tried to repair visual studio 2019, It finished repairing and I got the same results.

After that I entirely deleted visual studio 2019 and installed visual studio 2022, Same thing, Downloaded .NET Framework and I still got the same issue.

I asked my friend if he had a similar problem but he didn't, Instead, his showed the (.NET Core) apps

    @Saad , based on my research, the Microsoft doc Tutorial: Create a .NET console application using Visual Studio shows that we can choose the Console Application template to create a .NET Console App.(Please refer to the third step).

    Even if your visual studio doesn't show the (.NET Core) Console App, you also can create a .NET core app with the template Console Application.

    Maybe that the older version vs2019 could have the (.NET Core) Console App. Based on my test, I showed the same template with you about Console App in vs2019.

    Therefore, Please just Choose Console App to create a .NET Core Console App.
