Disappearing MAUI templates and dotnet new install Microsoft.Maui.Templates does not work

Discussed in dotnet/maui#22113

I setup a new machine for some MAUI development and installed the latest Visual Studio a few weeks back. Everything was fine until I updated Visual Studio recently and my MAUI project templates disappeared. Unfortunately using dotnet new install Microsoft.Maui.Templates does not solve the issue. In fact, it makes it worse because it installs MAUI templates targeting .NET 6 which is not on my machine.

Please help us understand the following:

1. Why did the MAUI project templates get removed?
2. How do we get the latest project templates back?

Can you report the output of dotnet --info and dotnet workload --info? Somehow your maui install is in a torn state and so not detecting the installed templates.
