Create Azure 'Timer Trigger' VSP 2022 creates empty solution (0 Projects)

[mattjankowski]

When I try to create a 'Timer Trigger' app from the 'New Solution' template Visual Studio Professional 2022 (Create New Project -> Azure Functions -> Timer Trigger) creates empty solution (0 Projects). This happens when I try to create a project based on any of the Azure function templates. There isn't any error given and I'm not sure what to do. Any thoughts on how I might resolve this problem?

What I've tried so far:

1. Uninstalling then reinstalling Visual Studio and this didn't fix the problem.
2. Removing and adding again Azure Development tools from VS Installer.
3. Ran Install Cleanup and reinstalled as directed by MS Chat.

More information: The resulting solution is empty and there is no project or files generated. Here is what the *.sln file looks like:
