Answer 1

I got the same issue. I could not create new ASP .Net Core 2 on fresh installed VS2017 or open existing one, which works perfectly on another computer with VS2017.

It's started work for me after uninstalling all .NET Core Runtimes and .NET Core Windows Server Hosting from Windows. SDKs have been left only and all works finally.

Probably, I needed to uninstall just .NET Core Runtimes or .NET Core Windows Server Hosting from Windows and it would be enough.
