Right click on Solution > Add New Item > Visual C# > General > Select Resources File (Resource1.resx)

As per ShooShoSha: You need to have one of the "Windows workloads" installed in "Visual Studio Installer" for the "Resource File" to be available.

If you are using a later version, Visual Studio may use the "Visual Studio Installer". When installing VS this way, the available template files depend on the workloads you choose to install. For a resources file template, you will need to include one of the Windows workloads for it to be available. – ShooShoSha Jul 16 '19 at 22:22
