There are two ways to resolve this issue:

1. Check the permissions of folder in which your .sln file present.There may be a problem with file access permissions as Visual studio may not be to access files when IIS express server is running, so to reflect new .cshtml changes each time you need to restart the server,so I suggest edit the folder access permissions by:

Right click on folder->properties->security->click on edit button -> check all options->save.

Restart Visual studio to see changes.

If this does not work then use 2 option.

services.AddMvc().AddRazorOptions(options => options.AllowRecompilingViewsOnFileChange = true);
