You installed Visual Studio which is a more powerful IDE from Microsoft. Don't confuse it with the editor Visual Studio Code.

There is an answer explaining the main differences between the environments: https://stackoverflow.com/a/33798601/10770079

Visual Studio (full version) is a "full-featured" and "convenient" development environment.

Visual Studio (free "Express" versions - only until 2017) are feature-centered and simplified versions of the full version. Feature-centered meaning that there are different versions (Visual Studio Web Developer, Visual Studio C#, etc.) depending on your goal.

Visual Studio (free Community edition - since 2015) is a simplified version of the full version and replaces the separated express editions used before 2015.

Visual Studio Code (VSCode) is a cross-platform (Linux, Mac OS, Windows) editor that can be extended with plugins to your needs.

You downloaded Visual Studio the IDE.

Visual Studio Code is a pseudo-IDE style text editor.

Be sure you look up specifically Visual Studio Code Download for [ insert operating system here ].
