when I create a new project in Visual Studio, the .NET-Framework 4.5.2 is selected by default. But in the list of versions are also newer ones, e. g. 4.6.1.
Is there a special reason why an older version is selected by default?
VS should keep the latest selected version and use that as a default.
Check which version is available on your web server(s). The idea is likely to default to the older version that ships with a supported OS and let developers to opt-in for a later version.
According to your description, as far as I know, there is no option to set the defalut framework version.
But if you change the framework version to the latest when you create the project, when you next time to create project, the defult version is your previous chosen version.

Create new Project: Default .NET-Framework version is not the newest version?

Hello,
when I create a new project in Visual Studio, the .NET-Framework 4.5.2 is selected by default. But in the list of versions are also newer ones, e. g. 4.6.1.
Is there a special reason why an older version is selected by default?
Should one always manually select the newest one?
Thanks
