    Hello @adil ,

    This may be because your Home page URL link contains /default.aspx

    Pelase follow steps:

    1.Check the Welcome Page URL
    Go to SharePoint site's Site Settings >> Welcome Page >> check the URL of Welcome Page whether includes /default.aspx ？

    2.Change Home page using PowerShell:

    Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell –ErrorAction SilentlyContinue  

#Variables  
$WebURL="http://intranet.crescent.com"  
$HomePageURL="SitePages/Home.aspx"  

#Get the Web  
$web = Get-SPWeb $WebURL  

#Change Welcome page  
$RootFolder = $Web.RootFolder  
$RootFolder.WelcomePage = $HomePageURL  
$RootFolder.Update()  

$web.Dispose()

    Have a nice day!

    Thanks,

    Hi is there any option for URL rewrite from IIS?

    if any request will come to for example

    https://mywebsite/products/pages/
    https://mywebsite/news/pages/
    https://mywebsite/company/pages/

    redirect to
    https://mywebsite/products/pages/default.aspx page

    HI My requirement is login prompt should not show to anonymous users and also anonymous users should not view any pages library and _layouts folder pages.

    just i want to redirect to home page instead of showing login prompt because this site is published to internet and for security reasons (possibility to brute-force-attack for example) we don't want to show login prompt to users
