IIS disappeared after update to insider build 14931 - windows

Today I updated my windows 10 Pro computer to Insider Build 14931. When update finished, I noticed IIS disappeared. I went back to Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features where i saw Internet Information Services was unchecked. I checked, it and got IIS back. The problem is that all the websites I created disappeared (websites folders and files, remain in my computer) and PHP & many extensions I had installed are no longer.
Of course, I can download them and reinstall, but I was looking if there is a shorter solution to it. Thank you.

Backups of the IIS configuration may be stored under C:\inetpub\history, just copy the latest files to C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config.

Blazor: Failed to launch debug adapter

kind of desperate with this problem that I don't know how to fix and I don't know the cause.
Full error when running Blazor app:
It's a WASM application hosted in .net core. Therefore there is a backend and a frontend.
I have set my backend project as Startup project, which will take care of hosting also the frontend.
Both projects are set up on .NET 5.
I have read that multiple factors can cause this error and yet I tried all the possible solutions I have found so far.
I kill manually the app processes that hang running even when I stop debugging, closed VS, deleted the whole .vs folder and then restarted VS.
I disabled script debugging
Also tried enabled and disabled:
Tried also to start it with latest version of Microsoft Edge instead of Chrome, sometimes it works and doesn't give troubles sometimes it doesn't
in a post I have read from the official support that it's a bug that is being solved already in the 16.10 VS preview version. I downloaded and installed it, still nothing.
tried both iisExpress and .net CLI as hosting profile.
Moreover when starting the app a normal blank page only opens on the browser:
Don't know honestly what to try anymore. Could anyone help? Thanks in advance!
I have had the same problem exactly with the same setup, this on a couple times and on both occasions I have deleted the VS folder, did a rebuild and then rebooted my PC.
I know this is not a root cause solution, but it has worked for me.
In my case it was missing the latest ASP.NET Core framework...
Make sure you get the hosting bundle.
.NET location: C:\Program Files\dotnet\
The following frameworks were found:
6.0.9 at [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.AspNetCore.App]
Learn about framework resolution:

To install missing framework, download:
https://aka.ms/dotnet-core-applaunch?framework=Microsoft.AspNetCore.App&framework_version=6.0.10&arch=x64&rid=win10-x64
I had to restart VS after installing..
Updating to the latest hosting bundle did the trick for me.
I also threw out the .vs folder as well as any obj and bin folders in the solution projects to ensure a nice and clean environment.
Reboot. Rebuild. Rejoice.

SQL Server Management Studio set-up exe does not launch

Attempting to launch the SQL Server Management Studio set-up exe leads to an icon briefly appearing in the taskbar, before disappearing without any further screen showing up. The task manager does not show any running instance for the installer either.
I have tried various versions of the SSMS installer executables posted on Microsoft's official documentation for SSMS, including version 18.8, 18.7.1, and 17.9.1.
Also tried updating the .NET framework, as suggested here (Why the SSMS-setup-ENU for version 17.8.1 isn't running?), but the latest version is already showed as having been installed.
I did a soft and hard reboot both, without success.
Confused as to how to proceed and install the software now. Any help would be appreciated.

Visual Studio 2017 Installer is "Unable to download installation files"

I've just finished talking to the "Microsoft Support Chat" and he told me to post this here (i can't post it on the developercommunity forums because i need to click a button in the installer which isn't there at that stage).
When I'm trying to run the VS Enterprise 2017 installer (or any other edition) the installer cancels with the error message: "Unable to download installation files. Check your internet connection and try again."
What I tried so far:
Running as Administrator
Downloading the installer with a different browser
Using the --layout option to download files first (same error message, no files downloaded)
Installing the certificates
Using the --update option before running the installer regularly
Running the Windows 10 Windows Update Troubleshooter (couldn't identify the problem)
Disabling Bitdefender Antivirus
Multiple Reboots/Re-Downloads
One more thing that might be helpful is that quite a while back when i was installing "Cyber Ghost VPN" on the same machine i had trouble connecting using that application because a windows service that should've been active wasn't running.
Also I would've included the Logs from running the vscollect tool but i can't seem to figure out how to attach a file here. Do i have to upload it somewhere else and include the link or is there a way i can just attach the file here?
It could be a certificate issue, maybe your time and region are not set correctly, so the certificate is in a different date than the server. I followed this three spets a couple weeks ago and it worked.
Install the certificates, usually in "certificates" folder,(inside Layout folder).
Right-click each one to install it with administrator rigths.
3.Run the installation file.

HTTP verbs PUT and DELETE stopped working

I have a ASP.NET Web API project where I use PUT and DELETE frequently. Sometime during the last couple of months PUT and DELETE stopped working. The web.config is still the same and the verbs works fine on my other machine.
I haven't worked with the project during this time. The only things I recall I have done is the Windows 10 anniversary update and a couple of Visual Studio updates, but I have done the same updates on my other machine.
During this time my WCF services stopped working too. In attempts to get them to work I reinstalled some Windows components. I have installed everything that has to do with IIS.
Can this verb problem have anything to do with missing Windows components? I have no idea what it can be.
Apparently I managed to install support for WebDav publishing when I reinstalled the Windows features for IIS. I removed it and got my PUT and DELETE back!

Installing VS2005 on Windows 7

I'm trying to install Visual Studio 2005 on a Windows 7 box but am repeatedly getting the same error. When I run the installer it starts to run then pops up with a message saying:
"A problem has been encountered while loading the setup components. Canceling setup."
Various suggestions has said that maybe the install is corrupted so I downloaded a fresh copy of the ISO from MSDN today, same issue. Another suggestion is that installing from the ISO may be the issue so I extracted the contents of the ISO to a folder on my HDD, same issue. I have also tried running the files as administrator and in XP compatability mode, same issue.
Searching for this issue the most common responses I've found have been about installing SP1, however I cannot get the base product to install and therefore cannot apply SP1.
Does anyone have any further suggestions as to what I can do to fix this issue and get VS2005 installed? If anyone wants any log files of any variety I am happy to supply so long as you tell me where to look as I'm not sure.
As for why I am using VS2005 and not a newer product, it is required for the ongoing support and maintenance of some older applications we manage. These cannot be easily migrated to a newer version of Visual Studio without some considerable investment of time and that would probably be longer than the time it will take to develop newer, replacement applications (which is currently in progress). Until the new applications are available though we need to maintain an environment to use.
Did you try running setup.exe in compatibility mode with Windows XP? Some discussion here on how to do this.
Another alternative since you alluded to having an MSDN subscription. Download Windows XP and install it into a VM. (If HyperV isn't already in installed with your Win7, you can add it from Control Panel->Programs&Features->Turn Windows Features on/off). Then install VS2005 from there.
