Visual Studio 2017 creates empty solution for xamarin forms

Question

Visual Studio 2017 creates empty solution (0 projects) for Xamarin.Forms.

How to resolve the problem please?

Answer 1

I have encountered this problem as well recently and it seems we are not alone as GitHub suggests. The problem surprisingly resolved itself for me by itself after VS repair and computer restart.

I recommend you to run the Visual Studio Installer and do a repair of VS as well. If it doesn't help, keep track of the GitHub discussion for workarounds.
