Answer 3

If you are using a static file as the default page, the following code can help you.

 app.UseDefaultFiles(new DefaultFilesOptions { DefaultFileNames = new 
     List<string> { "index.html" } });

If you are using the MVC view, just add the routing role.

app.UseMvc(routes =>
   {
       routes.MapRoute(
           name: "default",
           template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}");
   });
