Visual Studio 2019: "This site can’t provide a secure connection" on localhost
Just as it did not work for @Nosnetrom
- repairing IIS 10.0 Express did not work for me either. As @Julian
mentioned my problem was caused by uninstalling VS 2017 as well.
This is what did not work for me:
- uninstalling / re-installing VS 2019
- installing VS 2017
- uninstalling / re-installing / repairing IIS 10.0 Express
This is what worked for me:
- after reading this advice - I realized that I was using port 51542 instead of a port in the range of 44300 through 44399
- then I updated the applicationhost.config file according to this advice. The location of said file on my Windows 10 machine is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\config\templates\PersonalWebServer\applicationhost.config
. I had to open that file in Notepad ran as an administrator otherwise I could not save these changes: - then in Visual Studio I created a new virtual directory
- that seemed to have done the trick for me - when I ran the application it worked
Repair of IIS Express fixed my problem:
