Using visual studio VB MVC and the dropdown menu is visible but not working-CodePudding

I am new to MVC and not sure what is going wrong here, but I feel it has something to do with popper.js and bootstrap. Everything looks good when I debug it, except the dropdown menu actually does not work.

I assume I am not loading the scripts properly, but I believe I am getting tripped up by the fact that NuGet does not have the most up to date version of popper.js for some reason, so I downloaded the file using the cdn reference, but there must be a way to link to the most up to date script.

This is a layout page if that has any impact.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>@ViewBag.Title - My ASP.NET Application</title>
    @Styles.Render("~/Content/css")

        <div >

            </button>
            <div  id="navbarSupportedContent" style="">
                <ul >

The default ASP.NET MVC template is out of date, to say the least.
