Windows 10: I can't create new project using a standard user on my VS2017

I instaled on my computer this version of visual studio 2017 community, and, using my non-administrator user whenever I'm going to create a new Project a window pops up with this message "Initializing templates". So, this message takes a long time and nothing happens or just simply VS freezes making me to kill the process with task manage.

Toolbox VS2017

Hi DaveM121, on Vs2013 I have build several desktop appications consisting of VS user interface and Intel DLL's. This was on W7. As I upgraded to W10 its time to renew my tools.

So, I downloaded VS2017 and a new Fortran compiler.

As said, opening VS2017 and starting a new solution the toolbox is empty.

Someone suggested to enable XML in Tools-Options, but I can't find the XML option.

Then a second one suggest to get them online from within VS, but this options is not in my version of VS2017. In addition the start Page only show the" File Edit Vieuw Team Tools Window Help" selections; i.e. no Build or Debug option.

So, looking for help.

Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:

• Are you logging in using a Microsoft account on any of the created two user accounts?
• Have you created 2 local account with administrative privileges on the computer?

Please be informed that Local user account as well as
Microsoft user account can be considered as Standard user account. A
Standard user account is the user account which do not have any administrative privileges.



It is possible to create two or more accounts with administrative privileges on computers running with Windows 10 operating system.



If you want to convert one of the user account as a standard account, I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.
