Slow IIS on local Windows 10 PC - iis

I've been running IIS over the years, on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 7.
Since I moved to Windows 10, I've been having lots of problems with IIS running slowly.
I have a clean install of Windows 10 on my PC, not a previous Win7 version upgraded to Windows 10.
These are the versions:
Windows 10 Version 1511 (OS Build 10586.420)
Internet Information Services (Version 10.0.10586.0)
I have tried all sorts to fix this issue, such as editing my hosts file to this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
Or commenting that line out.
I've tried running as:
127.0.0.1/mysite instead of localhost/mysite
I've tried tweaking various settings on the ApplicationPool, as per reading I've done on StackOverflow and the web in general.
There is nothing in the Event Log to do with errors or problems being flagged up.
However, a lot of the time page refreshes take over 1 minute to complete, which makes local development very slow.
The issue is the same on Chrome, Firefox, IE and Edge browsers.

I just re-installed Windows 10 and had the same issue again.
My IIS files sit outside of the wwwroot folder, in the c:\data folder. The localhost site was running painfully slow again.
This time, I fixed it by giving Read access to IUSR, NETWORK SERVICE and IIS_IUSR when right-clicking the folder and going to Properties > Permissions - e.g. for NETWORK SERVICE:
After that I restarted the IIS server and it sped up a lot.
This isn't how I fixed it last time though, but I can't remember how I fixed it them - so putting in this fix this time before I forget it!

Unable to run EXE's from network share

Before i begin let me inform you that I've already gone through other threads here regarding the same issue, none of them seems to have helped, therefore creating my own.
The issue started recently, by the very least i think it started happening 3 weeks ago. we have a custom build application that is deployed on our Network share, the exe is lightweight program, nothing too heavy.
The EXE can be ran manually or through our a shortcut but doesn't run either ways, a window about the same size as the app pops up and disappears immediately if you constantly double click on the exe.
All our Client computers are Windows 10 1909 build. All our servers are VMs running on a Hyper-V host and Windows Server 2019 latest version as well. only the Hyper-V Host is Server 2016 and the application runs fine on that server only.
Infact all other EXEs can be opened through the network share (not on the same server but on a VM) on that 2016 host but none of the exe's open on any other client computer or VM's.
The respective GPO to trust UNC paths is enabled and applied, there are no errors or warning whatsoever when launching any of the exe's, the files just don't open no matter how many times you click on it.
Any Ideas?

cannot read configuration file - updated

I am having the same issue as I've seen elsewhere but can no longer comment or reply - must be too old a post.
This happens only on my remote server running WIN2012, IIS 8.5 and on my brand new laptop, IIS 10.
I have been successful in running site on desktop WIN7, IIS 7.5 system only.
Seems it comes down to the computer's configuration. I needed to manually install IIS and other stuff on the WIN7 machine since none of it was there.
I don't believe the web.config file is the issue as you've stated, but something in the software installed is the problem.
Why can't this work cross platform? I am using the same folder paths. the "Test Settings" buttons may show errors, but sites other test sites still open (sites with an index file).
I have not found an answer and it's been weeks. If someone else can help it would be appreciated.

Why can't I drag Remote App windows that can be merged?

We are currently in the process of migrating from Azure RemoteApp to another RemoteApp deployment as the current version goes end of life soon. An issue has been raised in UAT whereby Windows cannot be dragged across the screen for more than a split second (only seems to occur in instances where the Window in question is primed to be merged with another Window).
Here are two such examples:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1S4OHN3SdfyOHg4WlJmVGdIQTQ
This problem seems to only occur when connecting to Remote Apps via Windows 7 (which is what our users use). When tested in Windows 10 and OSX there was no problem. We also tested this inside a Remote Desktop and it was working.
Our current live deployment doesn't have this issue (connecting to Windows Server 2012). The deployment with the problem is using Windows Server 2016 so we spun up a host server using Server 2012 and still had the same problem.
We have also tried modifiying settings in the connection file to eleviate the problem. These are some of the settings that didn't seem to help the problem when we changed them:
bitmapcachepersistenable
disable full window drag
disable menu anims
disable themes
enablesuperpan
Has anyone come across with problem or know how to fix it? I'm happy to answer any questions about our setup.

IIS not working after upgrade to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 7 Unlimited

Today I upgraded my windows 7 ultimate to windows 10 pro. Every thing seems to work fine. But the localhost is now throwing error : HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.
I checked IIS, it is running. I checked the version of IIS from IIS Manager, it is showing Version 10.0.10240.16384.
I test my sites on localhost.
Before upgrade, in windows 7 ultimate it was working fine. I also checked "Turn windows feature on or off" and found that IIS is installed properly.
Please guide me.
Thanks Joe Raio for providing the hint. I checked the event log and found that rewrite.dll was causing error. I uninstalled IIS URL rewrite extension and the problem is gone. Now everything is working as before, classic asp, php, everything.
Please try this solution
Go to the Application Pool ...
Advanced Settings ...
Process Model ...
Identity ...
Set it to "LocalSystem"

Git Extensions stopped working after forced restart

Git extensions stopped working on my computer after I performed a forced restart. I need help getting it back on line.
My computer runs on windows 8.1. Leading up to the error, my computer ran out of memory (RAM) and froze. after about 5 minutes of no response, I powered down the machine by holding down the power button. I then started my machine up again and Git-Extensions would no longer launch. clicking on the git-extensions Icon would prompt no error. Rather, the computer would acknowledge that I had clicked on something, but fail to launch the program. The same result came from navigating into the file where the executable is located and clicking on it directly.
My efforts to fix the problem are as follows. I restarted my machine. Git extensions still didn't launch. I went to the download site for Git-extensions and selected to have my local installation repaired. Afterwards, Git extensions still would not launch. I uninstalled and re-installed Git-Extensions. Still, Git extensions is not launching.
Any Ideas as to why Git-Extensions would suddenly stop working and how to fix the problem? Thanks.
Downgraded to Git-extensions 2.4.
