I am using Rider and starting IIS express is difficult for me.
I have configured ASP.NET IIS dll to rider and succeeded in running IIS.
But I prefer the original dotnet execution method and no problem with it in Rider.
I think the reason is UAC problem, your program can't write files on C drive without access control
