After the April Windows 2018 update, my localhost is now only showing a blank screen.
After a bit of research I found that it may be the IIS (Internet Information Services).
I've now checked the ISS Management Console under Web Management Tools in Windows Features, and Internet Information Services (ISS) Manager is showing up in Administrative Tools.
However, localhost is still showing a blank screen.
I've gone back into Administrative Tools and restarted Internet Information Services (ISS) Manager, but this still doesn't fix the problem.
Is there a step that I'm missing?

The IIS bindings to the used website have probably been updated. See screenshot below, go to the IIS manager, click on your website under "Sites" - in my case "Default Web Site" and click on "Bindings" on the right side of the screen.
If there is an entry that does NOT tell "*" or "localhost" but rather an IP-address, then that is probably your issue. "localhost" normally refers to 127.0.0.1. If there's an IP-Address of e.g. your server set, then it will not work. Set * (=All Unassigned) to listen to all interfaces - including localhost.
