Try these steps in order:

1) Check that you are under the "Installed ... Templates ... Visual C#" branch on the left side of the dialog.
2) Try the "Search Installed Templates" box in the top right of the "New Project" dialog: type "Windows Form Application" and see if it finds it.
3) See here: Visua Studio 2017 missing Windows Form Application and also missing CLR template - Developer Community[^] you may have not installed desktop support.
