Despite what Microsoft would like, Windows Forms isn't going anywhere any time soon. WPF is generally superior though, so if you want to build the best desktop apps you can, learn that. The XAML skills you learn will be directly applicable to UWP as well, should you want to go down that route.

That said, web development is far more prevalent than desktop these days, so it would be wise to build a skillset in that area. To that end, I would recommend getting up to speed with MVC. That is applicable to both web applications and web services. Web API is basically MVC without the UI.

There are obviously plenty of third-party tools and tech that can integrate into your core MS stack.
