Based on your wording, I think you’re probably looking to develop native CLI (Command Line Interface) applications, in which case you want “Win32 Console Application”
Note that any project type with CLR in the name is not true C/C++, it’s the .NET managed implementation of C++. Likewise, anything with ATL or MFC in the name is a case of “if you don’t know what it is, you don’t need it.”
Hopefully that will help narrow it down for you, but you probably want the one I suggested anyway.
