How to start creating a WinUI project ?

[Martin Adams 2023]

In VS 2022 I can not find any templates for WinUI. I installed Windows SDK and WinUI controls but I can not find any templates. Any idea why ? Thanks

You also need the correct templates: Template Studio for WinUI (C#) - Visual Studio Marketplace[^].
