Look for this setting, in global.asax.cs or in RouteConfig.cs under App_Start.

 routes.MapRoute(
                name: "Default",
                url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
            );

Change its default controller and action as per your requirement.

In the App_Start folder open RouteConfig.cs. Change the defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } to whatever you like.

There is two way

change the default maproute

routes.MapRoute(
        name: "Default",
        url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
        defaults: new { controller = "ABC", action = "XYZ", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
    );

change the action index -> view name
```
return View("ViewName")
```
