localhost works but IIS Manager won't open on Window10 even after everything has been turned on in Install Programs and Features

Question

I've followed the instructions here to turn Internet Information Services on in Install Windows Programs and Features, along with Web Management Tools and World Wide Web Services, and the items in the expando list below each of them.

http://localhost opens the welcome page correctly in the browser.

Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager appears in the Administrative Tools list in Control Panel.

But no window opens when I try to open IIS Manager from the Search menu.

I can see an IIS icon in the task bar, but when I click on it, the faint ghost of a window rises up from the grave on my left monitor and disappears off the left edge of that screen.

EDIT: Aha! Told the thumbnail in the task bar to "maximize" and now it is visible. But the window cannot be sized. It minimizes when you attempt to size it.

Answer 1

Check for an IIS Manager icon in the task bar.

If there is one, click on it to open the thumbnail and then right-click on the thumbnail and maximize the window.

On my system the window cannot be resized; it is either maximized or minimized.
