How do i enable application initialization warmup to work?

Disabled windows authentication, enabled anonymous authentication for testing. ✅But so far, even after all these, when a recycle happens, the site/pool does not start till a request comes from outside, (i go to the website from a browser).IIS version in use 10, Windows Server 2019, AspNetCore Module v2 is also in use. Things i also done:

Preload enabled ✅

Idle timeout: 0 ✅

Always running. ✅

Added binding for port 80. ✅

Added these lines to web.config:

<applicationInitialization doAppInitAfterRestart="true">    
<add initializationPage="/" />
<applicationInitialization doAppInitAfterRestart="true">

Hi Kelemen Balázs,

Please use this instead:
<system.webServer>

</applicationInitialization>

</system.webServer>

==> Preload + AlwaysRunning: You've enabled both but make sure it's under the correct <site> config in applicationHost.config or via IIS Manager:

Go to Advanced Settings for the App Pool
Set Start Mode to AlwaysRunning
Set Preload Enabled to True for the site

==> Once updated, restart the App Pool and run: curl http://localhost/
