title: Console App (.Net Standard) not listed
body: <p>I am using Visual Studio 2017 and trying to create a "Console App (.Net Standard)".  It is no longer on my list of available projects when I do "File -> New Project..."</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/IRUsv.png" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/IRUsv.png" alt="options in Visual Studio"></a></p>
  
  <p>It was there a few minutes ago.  It disappeared after I created a "Console App (.Net Core)" and then deleted that app because I realized I really wanted a Standard app.</p>
  
  <p>I deleted it by removing it from Visual Studio, then going to the file system and deleting it.</p>
  
  <p>I tried running the installer and updating the 2017 install.  That did not help.</p>
  
  <p>How can I get "Console App (.Net Standard)" available as a project type to create?</p>
  
  <p>[EDIT] I have shutdown and restarted visual studio.</p>
  
  <p>[EDIT] I have attempted to run <code>devenv /installvstemplates</code> but the devenv command is not found.  I found it located here: <code>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE</code>.  What is the preferred way to call it?  [add to path or some other way?]</p>
  
  <p>[EDIT] I ran like this: <code>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /installvstemplates</code> and got a <code>The operation could not be completed.  The requested operation requires elevation.</code>.</p>
  
  <p>[EDIT] I ran like this: <code>runas /user:Administrator "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /installvstemplates</code> and got a <code>RUNAS</code> usage help message.</p>
  
  <p>[EDIT] I ran the command in a powershell window with Administrator privilege and got this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>PS C:\Windows\system32&gt; 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\devenv' /installvstemplates

  You must provide a value expression following the '/' operator.

  <p>[EDIT] found out that I need to run the quoted command prefixed with a &amp;.  Now I can run devenv.</p>
  
  <p>[EDIT] I decided I needed a "Console App (.Net Standard)" after posting this question: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45787278/project-type-for-simple-headless-windows-application">Project Type for simple headless windows application</a></p>
