I have visual studio 2015 community Update 2.
I've installed Visual C++ for windows and also for mobile platforms as you can see in this picture:
The problem is that when I try to create a C++ Win32 app and click on these two templates
nothing happens and I get stuck at that screen.
As Cheers and hth Alf said, I had to reinstall the whole Visual Studio 2015 to get it working again.

I installed visual studio 2015 but with the "typical" setting instead of custom. It left me without C++ so I went ahead and downloaded the packages that were needed. This is what I see now: http://puu.sh/rDcmz/0627d54918.png
I see "Console Application" but I am looking for "Win32 console application". Unless these two are the same? But I think they aren't. Thanks.
Uninstalling Visual Studio 2015 and then reinstalling seemed to have fixed the problem.
As shows in the screenshot, when creating a visual c++ new project, it got stuck at the first step, after clicking "OK", instead of going to the next step, this window popups up again and no c++ new project will be created. There is however no problem for creating c# project.
The OS is windows 7 and I have tried with Visual Studio 2015 as well as Visaul Studio Express 2015 for windows desktop, they both work fine with c# but have this problem with c++.
Any suggestions will be grateful. Thanks!
Problem solved after uninstall all versions of Visual Studio on my Laptop and reinstall the Visual Studio 2015 express for desktop.
I recently got the new version of Visual Studio and I can't seem to find how to create an empty project for C++. The options seem to be only C# and Basic.
The default (typical) installation of Visual Studio 2015 no longer contains the C++ compiler and tools. This was a very popular ask from the community as many developers do not want the footprint C++ brings.
If you go and try to uninstall Visual Studio 2015, the installer screen will pop up and you'll see a button named "Modify". This will change your current installation. Do a custom install and pick the C++ features / libraries that you require.
As far as I know, most editions have C++ support, including Express for Windows, Express for Desktop and the popular Community edition.
Try to open VS with Admin's rights. I tried it, and it works!
I retargeted an MFC solution from Visual Studio 2013 to Visual Studio 2015, but when I built it I received an error telling me the compiler could not find afxdisp.h normally found under VC->atlmfc->include . -- Of course I copied the file from the VS 2013 location, but I was wondering why it was missing? Does anyone know?
My mistake, MFC is an addon in VS, and I did not have all of it (only had ATL). I relaunched installer went to custom install and clicked MFC classes. I also installed the Multibyte MFC library from the Visual Studio Website. It is not available in the custom options.
I suppose since I installed Visual Studio 2012, I cannot create C++ project in Visual Studio 2010. But, I am not sure new installation of VS 2012 is related to this problem.
The problem I am really struggling is that neither hint message nor notification are shown when I try to create a new C++ project.
I have tried several ways from google even include stackoverflow, but failed.
Is there anyone who knows any solutions or has any workarounds?
1) I wouldn't be at all surprised if installing MSVS 2012 is the culprit. VMs are Good :)
2) You should definitely look at the Windows event log (if you haven't already)
3) You can also run MSVS 2010 with logging as follows:

Devenv.exe /log "C:\My Files\MyLog.txt"
i faced the same problem in "microsoft visual studio express 2012 for window desktop" and now it's perfectly working after having gone through repair option.
If you have another version (or express edition) of visual studio installed on the same PC that is previously used to create console applications, that might be the issue. I had the same issue and I had Visual C++ 2008 on the same computer and I could either use the visual C++ for console applications or uninstall it completely. Hope this helps!
