Hi,

Add below code in your web.config file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="Main Rule" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url=".*" />
                    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
        <staticContent>
            <remove fileExtension=".svg" />
            <mimeMap fileExtension=".svg" mimeType="image/svg+xml" />
        </staticContent>
        <defaultDocument>
            <files>
                <remove value="index.aspx" />
                <add value="index.php" />
            </files>
        </defaultDocument>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

if you get 500 error then remove the  <defaultDocument> part from the config file.

and make sure you enable iis CGI feature and your WordPress site have enough permission for the iis_iusrs and iusr.
