In my C# workspace I select C#, make a name, but then it will not let me select a c# template, it is grayed out. Why?

So in my C# program, I make sure I follow the video in detail but every single time I go to click on the template it is completely grayed out and it won't let me select it. I am on the 7-day free trial, however. Could this be the problem?

If by template you mean the welcome.md file, it won't let you type anything into that. You need to make a .cs file by either right clicking in the dark gray area on the left side or clicking File -> New File on the top. Your being on a free trial shouldn't affect your ability to use the Workspaces shell.

Let me know if this changed anything.

Sorry, what I meant by the template is when creating the workspace it says to choose an "existing workspace or a template". Then it grays itself out as soon as I choose the language C#. I used the template on my first project but now the template is just gone.

The drop-down boxes are indeed 'grayed out', even for me, but I'm still able to select from them. So you select the C# environment, then what happens if you click the 'Pick an existing workspace or template to start from' drop-down arrow? Does it not open anything? Is there nothing to select?

Nothing opens, in general when I click the drop down absolutely nothing happens. Sometimes it looks like it does open but nothing is there to select from.
