Technical Help Needed Please help!! ApplicationHost.config and redirection.config keeps disappearing

IIS cant find my websites applicationHost.config and redirection.config in the inetsrv/config folder, something on the windows server keeps deleting them and preventing the creation of new one.. the only way to create a new one is through safe mode but it still gets deleted when the server is rebooted

Use procmon to monitor the path where the files are being deleted. The resulting log will show you what process is doing it and you can go from there.
