Visual Studio project launches at incorrect URL

Question

I have an ASP.NET MVC project in Visual Studio. When running the project, Google Chrome launches but a 'This site can’t be reached' error is shown, and I notice that the https prepended to the URL instead of http. Can anyone advise?

Steps I have taken:

IIS Manager:

Added binding http://mysite.local on Port 80
Set physical path to the project folder root (the same level as the 'App_Data' folder), and set permissions to the IIS_IUSRS group to this folder

Visual Studio:

Server: Local IIS
Project URL: http://mysite.local
Override application root URL: http://mysite.local

Windows Hosts file:

Added entry: 127.0.0.1 mysite.local

Do you have the HTTPS everywhere extension for Chrome perhaps? Or one of the more manual methods of forcing HTTPS enabled? — gilliduck, Aug 28 '17 at 03:17
I changed the launch browser in Visual Studio and it also happens in Internet Explorer. — user2181948, Aug 28 '17 at 03:19

Having the same problem after updating Chrome. Just open an other window of Chrome and run your URL there. — Babak, Aug 28 '17 at 03:46

Please check whether in your project SSL is enabled or not? You can find it in the properties section of your project like below image:

In Visual studio select the project in solution explorer and set the SSL to false. Check same in project settings and set the project url to HTTP one there too.

In your MVC Controller :- make sure you didn't apply things like RequireHttps
