<system.webServer>

<handlers>

<remove name="WebResource" />

<add name="WebResource" verb="GET" path="WebResource.axd" type="System.Web.Handlers.AssemblyResourceLoader" preCondition="integratedMode" />

</handlers>

</system.webServer>

Also ,I am using EntraID for SSO and app is restricted to user assignment . Could you please help

The Script Mapping is made available by default in the ASP.NET Web Forms project created by the template of Visual Studio 2015 or later. The master page includes the ScriptManager control in which the ScriptReferences are registered as shown below:
