Ok, I have another solution for one specific case: if you use WINDOWS 10, and you updated it recently (with Anniversary Update package) you need to follow the steps below:

1. Check your Windows Event Viewer - press Win+R and type: eventvwr, then press ENTER.
2. On the left side of Windows Event Viewer click on Windows Logs -> Application.
3. Now you need to find some ERRORS for source IIS-W3SVC-WP in middle window.
4. Probably you will see message like:

The Module DLL >>path-to-DLL<< failed to load. The data is the error.

5. You have to go to Control Panel -> Program and Features and depending on which dll cannot be load you need to repair another module:
   • for rewrite.dll - find IIS URL Rewrite Module 2 and click Change->Repair
   • for aspnetcore.dll - find Microsoft .NET Core 1.0.0 - VS 2015 Tooling ... and click Change->Repair.
6. Restart your computer.
