Some Details
I do not use WinForms as much but I needed it for some work. I have got new computer some months ago > I installed Visual Studio > I have not worked with WinForms till then.
Problem
I can not find "Windows Forms App (.NET)" Template in Visual Studio ( Images at End ). But I can see "Windows Forms App (.NET Framework)" Template.
Images
Visual Studio Workloads: .NET desktop development, Desktop development with C++, Universal Windows Platform development, Game Development with Unity.
Templates I Can See:
You should be able to install .NET desktop development package in VS19.
Steps
Press create new project
Search for .NET desktop development (seen in picture A)
If it is not visible press the Install more tools and features link under Not finding what you're looking for (see picture B).
Search for the package and select it
Press the Modify button in the Visual Studio Installer

I am unable to find Microsoft's new development platform WinUI3 in visual studio. Should I install any components or something bug in my VS?
You need to install the correct workload as described here:
Required workloads and components While installing Visual Studio 2022
or 2019, select the following workloads and components.
On the Workloads tab of the installation dialog, select:
Universal Windows Platform development .NET Desktop Development
Desktop development with C++ On the Individual components tab of the
installation dialog, make sure Windows 10 SDK (10.0.19041.0) is
selected in the SDKs, libraries, and frameworks section.
In the Installation details pane of the installation dialog, make sure
C++ (v142) Universal Windows Platform tools is selected in the
Universal Windows Platform development section:
You also have to:
Install the Windows App SDK extension for Visual Studio (VSIX)
The Windows App SDK includes project and item templates for creating and developing WinUI 3 apps. These project templates are available as Visual Studio extensions (VSIX) for Visual Studio 2022 / 2019.
In the Visual Studio Installer under "Workloads / Installation details" at the right side, enable:
".NET desktop development" > "Windows App SDK C# Templates"
"Desktop development with C++" > "Windows App SDK C++ Templates"
All other required features will be selected automatically.
I am following an online tutorial on the Xamarin Docs the problem is it says
On Windows, select* Tools > *Add-in Manager... . Select the Gallery tab, expand the Game Development category and select MonoGame Addin, then click Install:
But I cant find "Add-in Manager" in the Tools drop-down menu, the tutorial says to create a Universal MonoGame Mobile application project but I have Monogame installed but don't see that option so I guess that I need to do the thing with the add-in manager first
other:
I am using Visual Studio 2017
Main Problem:
Can't find a Universal MonoGame Mobile application option when creating a new project, but I see other monogame options such as Android and IOS.
I downloaded Visual Studio Community 2017 because I need to build a command line tool to perform some administrative tasks on Windows 7. Is this possible and if so, what project should I select?
When I create a new project I can not choose "Universal Windows" projects, because these are restricted to Windows 10. A project I can create is a Class Library (.NET standard), but I have no way of executing this as it is a library and won't run from a Main() method, nor am I able to add a Unit Test project, because that is only available for Universal Windows.
I installed a load of extra .NET framework versions, the Windows 8 jdk, I searched for project templates online, created a "Blank Solution" from "Other project types", etc
So the question is basically, how do I build anything that runs on Windows 7?
I am going to answer my own question again. I set up Visual Studio for "universal Windows platform" development, because it sounded suitable for the simple app that I wanted to build, but the universal Windows platform is all new and aimed at Windows 10. My bad. After I added ".NET desktop development" via the Open Visual Studio Installer I now have my beloved Console Application project.
I'm having a problem with running the ios .cspoj file, when i want to start new project for iOS devices I get error that i have to install Xamarin.

Here is image of the problem
You said that you installed the "Xamarin program", but what exactly did you install? I cannot tell from your screenshot if you are using Visual Studio 2013 or Visual Studio 2015, but...
If you are using Visual Studio 2013, you will need to use the Xamarin Universal Installer(Just input your information and the file will be available to download).
If you are using Visual Studio 2015, then you can install Xamarin directly from within the Visual Studio 2015 installer window. Using Microsoft's guide from here you can:
...open Control Panel > Programs and Features, choose the Visual Studio 2015 item, and click Change. When the installer opens, click Modify
Check the following boxes:
Cross-Platform Mobile Development > C#/.NET (Xamarin)
For Windows 8+: Cross-Platform Mobile Development > Microsoft Visual Studio Emulator for Android
(Optional) If you plan on targeting Windows devices, also check Windows and Web Development > Universal Windows App Development Tools and/or Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0/8.1 Tools
Click the Install button
Once installation is complete... check for Xamarin updates through Tools > Options > Xamarin or Tools > Options > Xamarin > Other, where you’ll find a Check Now
