URLs on the website work fine, then after a few minutes they all return 404.

I've found some of the 404s in the log files, and they take this format: 

2018-06-02 17:26:44 108.xx.xx.xx GET /store - 443 - 172.xx.xx.xx Mozilla/5.0+(Windows+NT+10.0;+Win64;+x64)+AppleWebKit/537.36+(KHTML,+like+Gecko)+Chrome/66.0.3359.181+Safari/537.36 404 0 2 280

The 2 at the end appears to be a system error code: ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND

I cannot for the life of me work out what's causing this to happen. The site works fine, then just stops and 404's everything.

Rebooting server temporarily fixes it, recycling app pool sometimes temporarily fixes it.

I resolved this by writing my own rewrite module. Actual solution was a Windows update removing a needed registry key (thanks MSFT):
