Hi @Williamson, Jason Patrick,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
Are you using Visual Studio 2022?
When creating .NET 8.0 project, please ensure that you select the Windows Forms App project template not Windows Forms App (.NET Framework) template.
Besides, please search "Edit the system environment variables" in Windows Search box > Open it > Environment Variables… > System variables > select Path > Edit… > check if there are two paths to dotnet:
C:\Program Files\dotnet
C:\Porgram Files (x86)\dotnet
If you can find them, please click on the Move up button to move the entry C:\Program Files\dotnet before the x86 one.
Then, re-launch your VS and create a Windows Forms App project to check if the .NET 8.0 is available.
Sincerely,
Anna
