Visual Studio 2015 IIS Express not loading assets such as CSS, JS, Images - visual-studio

Question

I have a project, I build it in VS2015 and hit ctrl+F5 to start without debugging and launch the site in browser.
However non of my css, js, images are loading in chrome and edge?
In browser console I see:
GET http://localhost:2195/Content/app.css net::ERR_ABORTED 404 (Not Found)
In my layout file have the above defined as follows:
<link href="#Url.Content("~/Content/app.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Below is what I have in the properties box of the development server:
Development Server
Always start when debugging: True
Anonymous Authentication: Disabled
Managed Pipline Mode: Integrated
SSL Enabaked: False
URL: http://loaclahost:2195/
Windows Authetication: Enabled
Any ideas as issue is only in browsers where i'm asked to enter my windows credentials?
When I enter the http://localhost:2195/Content/app.css directly in browser i get 404 error:
Module IIS Web Core
Notification MapRequestHandler
Handler StaticFile
Error Code 0x80070002
Requested URL http://localhost:2195/content/app.css
Logon Method Negotiate
Why is the logon method showing as negotiate even though I've setup authentication to windows both in web.config and in the dev server?
* Update *
Installed jexus manager and added connection to site. Under actions > manage website, when i click start I get the following error see attached pic.
When I click on browse website I get dialogue saying this website is not running do you want to start it now. When I click yes I get the same error above and when I clikc ok on the error above I'm redirected to the site in browser and I'm able to navigate the site on localhost.
