Anyone using VS2017 above and if you are not seeing the option highlighted in image Application Config File Then most probably you have not installed .net desktop development tools.

The application configuration file template comes from .net desktop development workload, so you need to make sure you've installed it in VS2019/VS2022.(Go tools=>get tools and features=>make sure you have .net desktop development workload checked. Or Use Visual Studio Installer to install the required package.

Had the same problem, just open the Project tab and press Add Form (Windows Forms) then search for config and you will find app.config
