The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory.
Most likely causes:

    A default document is not configured for the requested URL, and directory browsing is not enabled on the server.

Things you can try:

    If you do not want to enable directory browsing, ensure that a default document is configured and that the file exists.
    Enable directory browsing using IIS Manager.
        Open IIS Manager.
        In the Features view, double-click Directory Browsing.
        On the Directory Browsing page, in the Actions pane, click Enable.
    Verify that the configuration/system.webServer/directoryBrowse@enabled attribute is set to true in the site or application configuration file.

WinML is a high-performance, reliable API for deploying hardware-accelerated ML (Machine Learning) inferences on Windows devices. Since its introduction, many developers started using this technology to develop UWP applications that leverage artificial intelligence. Throughout this blog post, we’ll understand how you can leverage WinML on a simple .NET5 Console app.
