Development PC with Windows 10 version 1709, Visual Studio 2015 version 14.0.25431.01 Update 3, .NET Framework version 4.7.02046 and IIS Express.
Custom HTTP Handler (implementation of IHttpHalder) in ASP.NET Web Site has stopped working with the following error:
Failed to map the path '/App_GlobalResources/'.

Prior to Windows update to version 1709, the handler was running without problems.
Please, note the rest of the web site (i.e. static HTML pages etc) are not affected.
Deleting the site from IISExpress using appcmd as per: https://gyorgybalassy.wordpress.com/2013/12/02/cleaning-up-iis-express-configuration/ did not fix it.
The purpose of this thread is to assemble all ideas, findings and thoughts on the problem. At best, the source of the problem can be located.
