You do not have C++ Console Application template in Visual Studio 2017 Community, no problem.

There is no need to panic. Visual Studio 2017 Community has a fine-grained installer. It is possible that you missed choosing the required programs. Your New Project looks like this now.


There are no templates in the above window. There is a link, Open Visual Studio UI shown in the above window. Click the link and after a little while, the installer is launched as shown. However, you may encounter this window. Click Update and you may get yet another window asking you to save/close running programs.

Now the installer is launched.


It appears I did not choose to install Desktop development with C++. Place check mark and allow the program to add this and any other that you choose to your VS 2017 Community.

After the changes the VS 2017 is relaunched and now you find many more C++ related templates in your New Project windows as shown.


The modification also adds these programs to your Visual Studio 2017 Community:

Microsoft Vsiual C++ 2017
Microsoft Visual C++ Wizards -1.0
