I am trying to develop a ASP.NET Core application. I tried following the blog to understand how references works between .net core and .net framework, but I fail to find the ASP.NET Core Web Application (.NET Framework) in the template dialog as shown below

enter image description here

I have tried to cross check related questions but they too have ASP.NET Core Web Application (.NET Framework) in screenshot attached in their question.

Click on .Net Core on left side menu. Then you will see all the .net core templates. Select the ASP.NET Core Web Application and click Ok.

After this you will see project template selection dialog. Here you can chose either .Net Core or .Net Framework for project template.

Great. Just curious to know more on these drop downs. How does these affect my applications?
If you chose .Net Core you application will be .net core app or if you chose .Net Framework then it will be .net core app with full framework.
so i feel its always better to choose .net core with full .net framework which can be deployed on linux or Mac!
Whoever at Microsoft put this option there did a great job of hiding it.
I have that dropdown disabled, how do I get it enabled?

For anyone searching, you can bring up the installer easily by going "Tools > Get Tools and features." in VS.
Alternatively (based on VS 2019) you can launch the installer as a standalone app directly from the Windows start menu. Just hit the Windows key and then type "Visual" and you'll get the VS Installer. Then click "Modify". That'll bring up the second screen in the above.
