Universal Windows App Template Not installed - templates

First of all let me make you clear you that, I am using Visual Studio Community 2015 update 1 and I am running on Windows 10 Pro.
As with update version of Visual studio I find inside Visual c#\Windows\Universal Tab that to install Universal Windows Tools.Also,I let you know that all other templates inside Visual C# Tab are installed and I can use them.
I have tried lot's of solutions to install them,still find the same.I have tried to modify VS from the installer package found under Program and Features in Control Panel.And also I have put for direct installation from that template Tab and selected all the necessary Tools from the Installation window.
What can I do next??

Open control panel->programs & features->installed Programs, select Visual Studio 2015 and click on modify. Now select the Universal Windows App Development Tools and click ok to install them. Now you should see the entries in Visual Studio.

A fresh install is required. So, if you are planning to Modify the setup, this will not work as it will not show the check box for Windows 10 SDK.
There are two ways:
1. Uninstall and reinstall the latest build -> Visual Studio Community 2015 - Update 3 as of now.
Install the preview edition, this requires 28GB, but you can customize your installation.
Install the Windows 10 sdk separately. Just go on http://dev.windows.com

I got the solution guys!!!
If you had upgraded your VS to VS update 1 or to any newer versions and i you get this error,then you need to try to uninstall VS completely and reinstall it and put tick on checkbox for 'Tools for Windows App and Windows 10 SDK' from the installation window.
Then your Project window gets the Universal Windows template installed...

X Visual Studio is missing necessary components. Please re-run the Visual Studio installer for the "Desktop development with C++" [duplicate]

My Flutter Doctor is saying:
Visual Studio - develop for Windows
X Visual Studio not installed; this is necessary for Windows development.
Download at https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/.
Please install the "Desktop development with C++" workload, including all
of its default components.
How can I fix this problem?
It's basically saying that if you want to develop your Flutter application for Windows you will need to install Visual Studio 2022 and while installing Visual Studio 2022 you will need to download this: Desktop development with C++
Also, you have to install the third link in this: Visual-studio
You could also get desktop development with the C++ tool after installing Visual Studio and then navigating to tool → Get tools and features → Desktop development with C++.
The error means install Visual Studio, and this is different from Visual Studio Code. It's an IDE from Microsoft.
For those who may be using a weak computer and can't afford to install the full Visual Studio, you only need to install a few components from Visual Studio to get Flutter to run on your computer without errors. These components are:
MSVC v142 - Visual Studio 2022 C++ x64/86 build tools.
Windows 10 SDK (for Windows 10 users)
C++ CMake tools for Windows.
In total, they should occupy around 8 GB or so.
As it states, you need to download Visual Studio (which is different from Visual Studio Code).
When installing it, remember to select the required package Desktop development with C++:
This will not prevent you from developing Mobile apps, but it's a requirement only for Windows Development.
Is unnecessary to install the "Desktop development with C++" if you don't want to develop desktop applications for Windows using Flutter.
If you only want to develop mobile apps using Flutter, you can run
flutter config --no-enable-windows-desktop
to disable the desktop support for your Flutter projects. After that, when you run the flutter doctor command again, you will no longer see the warning.

Only two steps are required.
Install Visual Studio 2022 (Link: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/)
Install Visual Studio Code (Link: https://code.visualstudio.com/)
Your code will run smoothly.
My solution was a bit simpler. Uninstall everything all build system's from VS. Then reinstall Visual Studio Community 2022, restart then try again. Might get a warning about nuget but it should fix the issue.
With the newest android installer "android-studio-2022.1.1.19-windows" there would be a jbr and jre folder existing, hence creating a link from jre to jbr would not work.
What you can do is copy the contents of the items in jbr into the jre folder and this would resolve the error.
Make sure to install Visual Studio Code.
Open the Visual Studio download page:

update to UAP (10.0.16299.0)

Currently I am using VS2017 Community.
I have downloaded the Windows IoT template for VS2017 community to do UWP programming.
After created the project, when I try to open the XAML file in designer view, I encountered this Message:
visual studio requires a newer version of windows to display this content.
please update to windows 10 Fall Creator update(10.0.16299.0)
So, I downloaded latest Win10 SDK
But Now I have this message:
visual studio requires a newer version of windows to display this content.
please update to UAP (10.0.16299.0)
What I need to do?
Thanks
You need the VS 2017 (15.4 update) or later to get the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update SDK (16299) integration.
If you have the 15.4 update already, then run the Visual Studio Installer, go to the Individual Component tab, and then check the components for 16299. Hit Modify.
See this blog post.
UPDATE: For C#/C++ projects, you set which Windows 10 SDK is used by editing the Project Properties and setting the Target Platform Version to 10.0.16299.0. You can also use the "Retarget solution" or "Retarget project" option.

No console application in Visual Studio 2015?

I know this might sound extremely dumb, but I can't find the console application template in visual studio 2015. When installed I clicked on custom and selected everything so I wouldn't have to go through the hassle of adding files later on so of course I have visual c++ installed. But for some reason there's no console application template.
Any ideas?
I'm using the community edition.
It's located under Templates->Visual C++->Win32->Win32 Console Application.
If you cannot find it there, it probably means you did not install the Windows SDK. Go to the Control Panel->Programs and Features, select Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015, right click on it and select Change.
The SDK is hidden quite well in the list of installable features. You can find it under Windows and Web Development->Universal Windows App Development Tools. Make sure the Windows 10 SDK is selected. By default it's not and I tend to forget to check it when installing VS2015 because it's so damn well hidden.
SOLVED !!!
it is generally with windows 10 or xp
so when you go to visual c++ there is option of install windows support for ...
and let it download
bingo!!
next time you can see it there
install these two
after installation
I have same problem. This is the way of show before i fix it.
then check you have proper internet connection. net double click and install both. now you can create c++ project.
This is new appearance..
thank you.
Unable to download using VS2015 installer. Even when set to download from internet it will fail
Better download winsdksetup.exe at https://developer.microsoft.com/es-es/windows/downloads/sdk-archive/

Can't install missing features on Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 10

I'm working with cocos2d-x framework for c++ using Visual Studio 2015 Community on Windows 10.
When I try to open a solution for a created project, visual studio says some projects are unavailable. When I right click and go to "install missing feature(s)", visual studio says I have to install "Windows XP support for C++".
When I click to install I get a "Setup - Usage" window(that seems to be bigger than my screen). I don't see any button, so I hit enter, but nothing happens. Nothing downloads and nothing installs...
Does anyone have a solution to this?
The message is as follows:
Install Windows XP support for C++
Windows 7.1 SDK for targeting Windows XP
The following projects will not be loaded unless you install the above
feature
All that's needed is to add in Windows XP Support via the installation tool accessible from Control Panel. Steps:
Close Visual Studio 2015
Open Control Panel
Select 'Programs and Options'
Right click on 'Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2016'
Select 'Change' from the menu (the only option)
Once the installation tool has set up, select 'Modify'
Expand Programming Languages --> Visual C++
Select 'Windows XP Support for C++'.
Proceed with the update.
Note that selecting 'Windows XP Support for C++' automatically selects its dependencies, 'Windows 8.1 SDK and Universal CRT SDK' and 'Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015'.
What I think might have happened for the OP was that in selecting Universal Windows App Development Tools and various C++ options, they hit upon 'Windows XP Support for C++' itself or something that had it as a dependency. So they may have various components installed unnecessarily now. :-(
got your point.
Here are the steps to install it properly.
Go to the below site and try to install it. & select the option as per the snapshot attached here.
