@Hussin Awad

Check that the iisexpress\config file for the failing user is present. If absent, copy it over from a working user's config. the per user config should be in the c:\users\iisexpress folder or so.

Same error you can use as a reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11687267/iis-express-will-not-start

Thank you for your question and reaching out.

Please try deleting the automatically-created IISExpress folder, which is usually located at %userprofile%/Documents, e.g. C:\Users[you]\Documents\IISExpress.
VS should create it again .
Locate the path of solution and navigate to <path_to_solution_folder>.vs\config\applicationhost.config.
