That's exactly what I keep telling others. I don't get why people need to call each other to say "I just left work, I'll be home in 20 minutes". Before the smartphone, nobody picked up their office phone to call home to say they were on their way. When I was a kid, I've never seen my mother call my dad at work (or vice-versa) unless, I dunno...someone died? And even then, it would've had to be someone close.
Then they their brain tries to label me as some sort of luddite, which really confuses them since, in my circle of friends/family, as I'm the go-to guy for technical problems. They assume I live on Facebook. I've never even had an account on Facebook, and honestly believe we'd all be better off if the whole site was shut down.

Thanks for explaining what I feel; but exactly that.

Why are you not using 2022?
It's not like .net changes wildly. I've just done projects to uplift to . net 6 and it's never true I need to change code.

Because I do not need to. I prefer flipping burgers.

I really don't know "what I'm on" other than VS2022.
I just keep adding projects to a solution I created about 4 years ago. Console is "console". UI is UWP. Class libraries are Standard 2.0 so I can use them in both.
All I know is it works and it lets me do what I want.

I do not care about what an UWP is.

You're a developer.

Out of curiosity, I fired up VS2019 and (when it eventually gave me a UI) clicked "new project". I'm still looking at three empty drop-down boxes and two spinning wheels. [Update- the wheels are no longer spinning, just frozen].
[update 2 - I now have the option of 4 .Net Framework projects (class library, winforms, wpf forms, wpf user control, wpf custom control), a .Net Standard class library, or a .Net Core class library.
Glad I normally just stick with VS2015 and don't allow it to update... 
[Update 3 - much, much later, having selected .Net Core class library, I get a code editor window. An error message at the top tells me "There was an error activating the remote language server, C#/VB Language Server Client"... WTF is that? There's a link for more info, and it opens an XML log file in... Internet Explorer. (I didn't know this machine still had a copy of IE on it!!!)

With Paul's sad absence I thought I'd have a try at my first ever CCC.

Happy for suggestions to improve.

So it's been over 7 hours and no one has posted a solution so either they're not guessing or couldn't solve it. I'm in the 2nd camp. I worked on it for a little over a half hour and got nothing.
So, what's the solution?
BTW, I was expecting pkfox to set today's clue since his went unsolved yesterday. Did you talk to him to be the setter today? I'm unsure why he didn't set the clue since it's usually set a few hours before yours was. Maybe he got busy and with no "Oi!" from Griff it was forgotten.

I wasn't aware of the etiquette of this, I just filled a blank space. I'll be sure to contact in advance in future.

The CCC "rules" (well, more of guidelines really  ) are on Griff's profile[^]; scroll down to "WSO CCC Rules".
But as nobody got yesterday's, you're up again today!

Not too worry. You admirably filled the gap. I think it was a good clue, I just didn't see it.
Welcome to the CCC! It's good to get a new face in the mix.
I don't usually solve them for the "official" game. It's generally played from 8:00am to 12:00pm UK time, which is 3:00am to 7:00am my time in the central US. I try to solve all of them, and have a close to 60-70% success rate but the game is usually over by the time I'm awake. But every now and then I'll make it in.
