I have been getting this error since the past 14 hours.
At first I was like its probably something with my computer so I reset it, and also tried it on another computer.
Tried with a VPN as well, so I guess its a server outage but it has been far too long to go unnoticed on a company of scale as large as microsoft.
This only happens with "Desktop development with c++" as I was able to get ".NET desktop development" to work.
