After changing the session timeout value in IIS, Kindly restart the IIS. To achieve this go to command prompt. Type IISRESET and press enter.

In my case, users are redirected to the login page upon timing out:

<authentication mode="Forms">
    <forms defaultUrl="Login.aspx" timeout="120"/>
</authentication>
