Link to installer

Click the “Workload” tab* in the upper-left, then check top right “.NET-Desktop Development” and hit install. Note it may modify your installation size (bottom-right), and you can install other Workloads, but you must install “.NET-Desktop Development” at least.

Open Visual Studio installer; either "Modify" existing installation or begin a new installation. On the "Workloads" tab, choose the ".NET desktop devvelopment" option
