❔ Why does this not show a console? It outputs in the debug below but a console does not appear

You seem to have created a windows form application (winforms), please choose console application.

$newproject

When creating a new project, prefer using .NET over .NET Framework, unless you have a very specific reason to be using .NET Framework.
.NET Framework is now legacy code and only get security fix updates, it no longer gets new features and is not recommended.

I always chose Win Forms console or not

it always worked

If you are going to be using a console. Create a console application

If you want to use Winforms, but no console. Create a winforms project.

Why is this here

Attach

Usually means attach to a debugger

It should say start.

Yeah, you don't need that.

This is what i created

Oh

i see

Wrong one

Thanks

What workloads have you installed?

You can check that by searching for the program 'Visual Studio Installer'

Then press modify on your VS version, and then show that.

If you want both, a console and winforms stuff (for some reason)
u can use PInvoke to either create a console or to attach it to the parent process
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/attachconsole
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/allocconsole
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/freeconsole (To Remove it)

The parent process ID for attachconsole is -1 or uint.MaxValue (depending on how u use PInvoke)

open your file with the extension csproj and show us
