Discovered it by inspecting the network traffic and seeing it was these files giving the 404 and not the Index.cshtml itself.

I am using VS2017. In my case there was the view file at the proper place (with the proper name). Then I remembered that I renamed it before, (and the VS somehow did not asked me if I wanna change all the references as usual). So I finally deleted the view, then I made it again, and this solved my problem.
