Hi @Asher Brammer ,

The page you see is the default page of IIS. Usually we use it as a test page to check if IIS installed successfully. You can find this page in C:\inetpub\wwwroot and name is iisstart.htm.

IIS has a Default Web Site when install successfully by default. Its corresponding physical path is C:\inetpub\wwwroot. You can explore it through right click the default web site.

I'm not sure which feature you want to disable. But IIS has a module called Default Document. It helps sites to show home page without add page name after root url. It is enable by default. That is why iisstart.htm shows when the url is http://localhost:80.

You can disable this module and enter page name to use it normally. For example, I create a custom page called example.html and put it in C:\inetpub\wwwroot.

Then I can access it through http://localhost/example.html.
