Microsoft Visual Studio 2019: Unable to locate .NET Core SDK

Question

When I try to create an Azure Timer Function in a Function App in Visual Studio Code 2019, I get the following error:

Unable to locate the .NET Core SDK. Check that it is installed and that the version specified in global.json (if any) matches the installed version

However, when I look in my installed programs, it does show that the .NET Core SDK is installed:

Strangely enough though, when I search for the SDK in the command line (with the command dotnet --info)... nothing appears:

It looks like the Microsoft .NET Core SDK 3.1.302 is installed, but it cannot be located by the system.
