Hi @Mohamed Laaboudi , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

Make sure the file path is correct. Especially on Windows, the path separator should be a backslash (). Check that the appsettings.json actually exists in the specified path. Make sure that the user running the application has permission to read the appsettings.json file.

Check your application code to make sure the configuration file is loaded with the correct logic. For example:

public class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        CreateHostBuilder(args).Build().Run();
    }

    public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
        Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
            .ConfigureAppConfiguration((hostingContext, config) =>
            {
                config.SetBasePath(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory());
                config.AddJsonFile("appsettings.json", optional: false, reloadOnChange: true);
                config.AddEnvironmentVariables();
                if (args != null)
                {
                    config.AddCommandLine(args);
                }
            })
            .ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder =>
            {
                webBuilder.UseStartup<Startup>();
            });
}

Best Regards,
