I'm trying to make a new XNA project from the template. I've installed xna and have both Visual Studio Professional 2010 and Visual C# Express 2010. I click "New Project" and look for anything related to XNA or Game Window or anything on the left had side but there is nothing there. I've reinstalled XNA but it's not there yet. How do I get those wizards to appear?

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 have successfully installed xamarin, i created one application by it, after i installed visual c++, framework 4.5 and repaired the visual studio one time during the installation, Xamrin option disappeared from new projects.
Ok, Open the visual studio click on Help->About Microsoft Visual studio
check. Is there xamarin is available or not, if not go to control panel and update the visual studio.
After I installed the Xamarin tools from this link: https://www.xamarin.com/vs-download?utm_source=visualstudio&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=download&utm_campaign=installer
My Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition is not attaching to My Unity Editor (x64, v5.3.5). It simply builds the project, which it's not supposed to do, Should be going through UnityEditor and attaching to it.
Visual Studio has no problems finding the Editor, as I can see the Unity instance from my "Attach to Unity" combobox.
I had no previous problems attaching my debugger before the Xamarin install.
I'm having this problem too, as well as others. At the moment the only solution is to deinstall Xamarin.
I did file a bug to the Visual Studio and Xamarin team:
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=42023
Here's another question, covering the same topic.
Visual Studio Debugger not attaching to Unity
So i followed the steps in How to install XNA game studio on Visual Studio 2012? and now i see the xna options but on selection i get this error "Object reference not set to instance of object"; any suggestions (I'm using vs2012 ultimate 64 on win7 64)
You should have a look at this: http://ryan-lange.com/xna-game-studio-4-0-visual-studio-2012/
Íf it aint working I would like to send you to the Monogame project. This is the xna library, the people from mono made it possible to port to Android, Ios, Windows 8 etc. Just use Monogame if u are having problems with installing xna on visual studios 2012. Its the perfect solution:)
For some reason Visual Studio is showing me this weird, ugly skeleton design view when I try building Mango apps instead of the regular fully detailed view I used to get with the old 7.0 apps.
Any idea what setting I need to change to revert back to the old view? I've spent forever searching for the right option but can't find it anywhere.
Here's what my design view currently looks like:
Thanks,

I had the same problems few weeks ago. Normally an uninstallation would not really help. I guess you also have installed the Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1. So to solve your problem, uninstall all of your Visual Studio and Windows Phone Related Products, normally these are:
Visual Studio 2010 (or Express)
Visual Sudio 2010 SP1
Microsoft XNA Game Studio 4.0 Refresh
After uninstallation install all products in the following order:
1) Visual Studio 2010 (or Express)
2) Microsoft XNA Game Studio 4.0 Refresh
and after (1) and (2) install and apply the Visual Studio 2010 - Service Pack 1.
Thre problem is, that if you install the SP1 before the Game Studio, there are some missing links and files which are not patched and this leads to the missfunctionality of the Windows Phone Designer.
I hope, i was able to help you :)
