Vegas Pro 17 Suddenly there's no templates to render to?

It's about 9 months since I last created a video and I've updated my computer in the meantime. I've gone to render a video and the template section is blank and no buttons work to create one. If I click on render as, I get an error message saying "no template selected" but there's no templates there to select. Does anyone got an idea about why this is happening?

In the Render As window just above where the templates usually display there's a Filters field. This field hasn't been inadvertantly coded with a speciifc template filter by chance? To not filter any of the templates, all filter selections should be unchecked and the filters display showing as Filters Off.

@Jennifer-Pearce If Dexcon's suggestion doesn't work for you then perhaps the folder containing the templates is missing. Did you reinstall VP17 after updating your pc. What was the update?

Thanks for your help folks, much appreciated. All the filters had blank boxes on them, so that's not it and I think we brought across Vegas 17 from the previous computer. I'll go reinstall it.

The other thing to help, post a screen shot of the Render As dialog. Maybe we can recognize something weird.

Well I tried all your suggestions (thanks folks), uninstalled Vegas 17, rebooted the computer, installed it again with all the authorisations and still the same result. Background: I was teaching my grandson some simple video editing (get him off gaming for a while lol!) so he might have pressed a problematic button, but I'm blowed if I can figure out what that could be, I've fiddled for hours with anything that looks possible. I know at one point we had dreadful feedback in our ears because he had the camera rolling as we were editing! I'll see if this comment will allow a screen capture otherwise I'll put it up on a backpage of my website and link to it.

And ps for EricLNZ - I got a new computer and it came with windows 10 which should be ok now surely?

@Jennifer-Pearce
You have all on the timeline Muted and than there is nothing to render.
Unmute by clicking the red M and you will see renderoptions.

j-v You are a whopping wonder - thankyou! That fixed it. I was going to blame the grandson for that, but I think it was me, trying to mute the horrific feedback sound. Thanks to EVERYONE for your help - MUCH APPRECIATED! Blown kisses from Australia.
