I had same issue occured and i fixed this issue by just remove the "applicationhost.config" file from your Project directory -> .vs folder -> config folder -> remove the applicationhost.config and clean & build project and run your project. It will successfully run your project

I solved the same issue by creating virtual directory (Solution Explorer > Right Click on Project > Web > Create Virtual Directory and ticking 'Override application root URL'

I faced similar issue and was able to fix it by updating the port number. In Solution Explorer --> Right Click and select Properties --> Web tab update the port number. I.e. My previous port was 57860 and I changed it to 57862. It fixed my issue.

You can also fix this by closing IISExpress.exe in Task Manager --> Details tab simple.
