Can't run any ASP.net MVC app after installing Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

Question

After installing Windows 10 Fall Creators Update I can't run any web app using Visual Studio 15.4.0 with IISExpress.

Even creating a new project does not run.

The error (some words in spanish, but it's an ArgumentOutOfRangeException for the site parameter) :

[ArgumentOutOfRangeException: El argumento especificado está fuera del intervalo de valores válidos.
Nombre del parámetro: site]
   System.Web.HttpRuntime.HostingInit(HostingEnvironmentFlags hostingFlags, PolicyLevel policyLevel, Exception appDomainCreationException) +280

[HttpException (0x80004005): El argumento especificado está fuera del intervalo de valores válidos.
Nombre del parámetro: site]
   System.Web.HttpRuntime.FirstRequestInit(HttpContext context) +10042604
   System.Web.HttpRuntime.EnsureFirstRequestInit(HttpContext context) +95
   System.Web.HttpRuntime.ProcessRequestNotificationPrivate(IIS7WorkerRequest wr, HttpContext context) +254

Información de versión: Versión de Microsoft .NET Framework:4.0.30319; Versión ASP.NET:4.7.2556.0

Tried rebooting, cleaning, etc, but nothing works.

The @rene question was the solution:

Go to control panel
Programs
Open or close windows features
Tick internet information services
Restart

Thanks a lot for solving this problem, it helped me a lot – Jan Sršeň Nov 01 '17 at 06:52
I'm now trying to figure out if I never had IIS installed or if the latest update switched it off. – Glenn Ferrie Nov 15 '17 at 02:58
@GlennFerrie I didn't even knew that I need IIS to run IISExpress – Eduardo Molteni Nov 16 '17 at 15:27
Seems like there are some system settings that VS is relying on -- I haven't pinned it down yet, but this fixed my issue. – Glenn Ferrie Nov 20 '17 at 13:56
If you use IIS Express, and not IIS, then the fix is to repair IIS Express under Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features – johnnycardy Dec 01 '17 at 11:48
For me, it was not ticked before but ticking it now fix the problem. – Eyal Feb 01 '18 at 10:44

I had a simmilar error after reinstalling VS without all the packages. Try installing all the prerequisites that are needed for your MVC. In my case it was TypeScrypt 2.0 and PowerShell tools. Hope this helps.
