I solved it by creating a new template and then modifying its .vcxproj file. Here are the steps to create a console app with x64 platform only.

1. Create a new console project.
2. Export it as a template. I called it console_64.
3. Go to "C:\Users<user>\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\My Exported Templates". Here you will find the template zip file, in my case, console_64.zip.
4. Extract the .vcxproj file.
5. In the project file, delete all XML nodes that refer to Win32. These will be <ProjectConfiguration>, <PropertyGroup>, <ItemDefinitionGroup> and <ImportGroup> nodes.
6. Save the file and update the zip overwriting the existing .vcxproj file in there.

Start a new VS session and voila! I now have a template, console_64, that creates a console solution with only the x64 target.

It will only save me a handful of mouse clicks per year yet I'd still like to know how to do it globally.
