Hi,

I notice that the issue is related to the Visual Studio application instead Visio product. To better resolve your issue, I would move the thread to Visual Studio development forum for more suggestion:

Hope you can find the solution there. Have a nice day!

Hi akhil_dabral,

Thanks for posting here.

To create a Console Application in Visual Studio, you need to follow the steps.

New->Project->Installed Templates->Visual C#-> Console App(.NET Framework)/ Console App(.NET Core)

Please check it first. If you have already followed the above steps, then check whether the checkbox of ".net-Desktop development" on top right is selected or not on Visual Studio installer:

If still no help, you could to restore the template in VS2017 then try it again.
Please refer to the following steps:

  1. Delete the ItemTemplatesCache, ProjectTemplatesCache folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE).
  2. In the command prompt, navigate to the location of devenv.exe. This file is located in <Visual Studio Installation Path>\Common7\IDE.
  3. Type "devenv /installvstemplates" and press Enter.

Hope this can help you.
