Blank solution while creating Xamarin.Forms project on VS 2017 ¿How to add Xamarin Forms without VS template?

Question

Hi I'm trying to create a new Xamarin.Forms project from template using Visual Studio 2017, but when I create the project using only an Android, IOS with .NET Standard project I only get an empty solution. How can I fix this? I have already tried to fix it re-installing VS but without success. Any recommendations? I have my Android SDK up to date, also my VS.

Select Tools --> Extensions and Updates :

Select Online and search Xamarin , download the Xamarin.Forms.Template :

Then, restart VS and try again.
