Dear @Cryptospy ,

My educated guess:
Are you seeing blank screens everywhere you click (after login)?. Since I am also on IIS, I had to dig deep for this issue. Using the devtools (press F12) and going to the network tab (refresh the page first) I was able to spot the problem (HTTP requests with errors).

Solution:
Cockpit relies for some reason on .tag file/web extention, which is not supported by IIS out of the box. Therefore I had to manually add .tag file extension as mime-types (mimeType html/text).
Please read below for more information about adding a mime-type:

Hopefully this helps!

Thank you so much, it worked For those having similar issues this is what i did:
create a web.config file in the root cockpit directory, and put the following code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>



  <system.webServer>
   <staticContent>
        
         <mimeMap fileExtension=".tag" mimeType="text/plain" />
      </staticContent>

  
  <rewrite>
  <rules>
    <rule name="Imported Rule 1" stopProcessing="true">
      <match url="^.*/?\.git+" ignoreCase="false" />
      <action type="CustomResponse" statusCode="403" statusReason="Forbidden" statusDescription="Forbidden" />
    </rule>
    <rule name="Imported Rule 2" stopProcessing="true">
      <match url=".*" ignoreCase="false" />
      <conditions>
        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
      </conditions>
      <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />
    </rule>
  </rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
