Application pools can be periodically recycled to avoid unstable states possibly leading to application crashes, hangs, or memory leaks.

Solution

Open the IIS 10.0 Manager.

Click the 'Application Pools'.

Perform the following for each Application Pool:

Highlight an Application Pool and click 'Recycling' in the 'Actions' pane.

In the Recycling Conditions window, select at least one means to recycle the Application Pool (e.g., Regular Time Intervals, Scheduled Time).

Click 'Next'.

In the Recycling Events to Log window, select at minimum both the events that match the conditions from the previous step (e.g., Regular Time Intervals, Scheduled Time).

Click 'Finish'.
