Windows Forms application option seems to be missing?

I'm learning how to design a Windows Forms Application in Visual Studio 2017. The tutorial asks me to create a new project using the File -> New -> Project option and selecting 'Windows Forms Application' in the new project dialog box.

However, when I explore this option in Visual Basic, my New Project dialog window only has three options, and the Windows Forms Application is not one of them (see screenshot - attached).

Just wondered if anyone might be able to suggest how to get this option to appear? I have tried looking for the correct option in the Visual Studio installer, but I cannot find it their either.

Screenshot attached.

Because you need to install it.

Go to Visual Studio Installer from the start and check the checkbox .NET Desktop Development.

see the image

After that restart the VS 2017.

Open Visual Studio Installer, ‘Modify’ your installation and install the ‘.Net Desktop Development’ workload.
