I think you need to add app.UseFileServer();

Excerpt from MSDN docs e.g. Static files in ASP.NET Core

... Call app.UseFileServer to enable the serving of static files and the default file.

Your call to app.UseDefaultFiles() should not require the "/default.html" parameter since the documentation says: ... With UseDefaultFiles, requests to a folder in wwwroot search for: default.htm default.html index.htm index.html

CodePudding user response：

you need to reverse the order

app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseDefaultFiles("/default.html");

updated:

you don't need to call app.UseDefaultFiles("/default.html"); at all
