Answer 1

Here's my first time answer. I have solved the issue using this method.

1. In start menu type certificates, you will see option (Manage Computer Certificates) not the (Manage user Certificate) View Image

2. After that go to personal -> Certificates and find localhost

3. drag localhost to trusted root certifications Authorities -> Certificates

4. Now structure list issue resolved as first it wasn't permitting to import in user certificates.

5. So, now go to start type certificate again but instead of manage computer certificate go to manager user certificates and do the same drag and drop from personal to trusted root certification authorities -> certificate folder.

Note: In case you have deleted localhost from personal then just import it by first opening the visual studio project on chrome you will see certificate details in left of address bar and export that certificate and import that certificate to personal -> certificate folder
