How to bring back IIS Express for Debugging in Visual Studio 2019? – Asp.net

I recently had to unload a project and reload it to fix a bug but now I dont have the option to start my code via IIS express anymore – instead it just says "Any CPU".
enter image description here

It used to say IIS Express (Google Chrome) and I can launch my web app through that but now it is gone and even going through the Web settings for debugging didn’t fix it:

How can I bring back IIS Express so I can run my code properly again?

    Sounds like you need to exit, and then re-load VS.
    If not, then I would repair it.

    I would also consider (yes, I know!!!) a reboot of your computer to flush out any running copy of IIS express.

    The setting (choice) of what browser should be to the right in your menu like this:

    So, clicking on that down arrow (chevron) in your start button should drop a list of options to choose which browser.

    I research the issue and found a couple of ways to bring the IIS Express option back.

    You could try the approaches below one by one.

    Approach-1

    In Visual studio 2019, select the solution(.sln)-> Properties. Select the drop-down Single Start-up project. select your project from the dropdown. Click OK.

    It should bring back the IIS Express option.

    Approach-2

    In Visual studio 2019, Go to Tools-> Customize-> Commands tab, then click on the toolbar radio button and choose the standard option from the drop-down and delete one of the existing toolbar inside the standard toolbar and then choose the option reset all.
