Missing project templates in the New Project dialog box in Visual Studio 2013

Question

When I click on File> New> Project on Visual Studio 2013, there are no project templates.

However, in the solution file (explicitly created in another version of visual studio), when trying to "Add> New project", all the templates are present there.

I want to mention a few things: -

• I used all possible keys , for example / installvstemplates, / ResetUserData, / ResetSkipPkgs, / ResetAddin, etc.
• Tried this:

Open the registry editor (regedit.exe)

Delete the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\{version}

Delete the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\{version}_Config

Delete the %USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\{version} directory.

• Reinstall visual studio several times even after deleting the Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0 folder

I am currently working on Windows 8.1. The same product setup works fine on another system running Windows 7 Service Pack 7. What can I do to fix this problem?

Answer 1

Inside a visual studio

In the menu bar, select "Tools", "Import and Export." Select the Reset all settings button, then click the "Next" button. Select the No option, only Reset, overwrite my current setting, then click the Next button.
