IIS Express gives you a quick and convenient way without the need to configure your website in IIS. For proper testing, you may still need to configure and test in IIS.<br />
<br />
So... that's merely based on your own preferences : )

Thanks! &nbsp;I found that my problem was due to having both IIS Express 10.0 and Windows 10 Pro IIS running at the same time. &nbsp;Things are working great after shutting down Windows 10 Pro IIS.

Microsoft Visual Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft. It is used to develop computer programs for Microsoft Windows, as well as web sites, web applications and web services. Visual Studio uses Microsoft software development platforms such as Windows API, Windows Forms, Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Store and Microsoft Silverlight. It can produce both native code and managed code.

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.
