Hi Ivy,
Thank you for the reply.
Now I suggest trying below:
1.   
Back up applicationHost.config to a safe place. It is recommend to copy all folder and files under the C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\backup to the safe place too.
Remove the IIS from the server.
2.   
From Control Panel\Programs and Features, in the Tasks panel, choose Turn Windows features on or off.
3.   
Uncheck all of IIS.
4.   
Uncheck Windows Process Activation Service (WAS), down further in the list of features.
5.   
The only way to truly completely remove IIS and all the config settings is to uninstall WAS as well.
6.   
After you have done the above, reboot the server.
7.   
Reinstall IIS7 on the server.
8.   
Then when the server comes back up go ahead and add back the IIS components, you will not have to recheck Windows Process Activation Service, it will automatically
get added when you reinstall IIS.
9.   
Once IIS is completely reinstalled attempt to browse the default website and test Application Pool Custom Identity.
10.
Open the applicationHost.config file under the C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config.
11.
Copy the <configProtectedData><providers>... </providers></configProtectedData> session and paste it into old applicationHost.config(step
one).
12.
Backup current applicationHost.config file:
a)    
Click on Start, go to Programs -> Accessories-> Command Prompt, right click on
“Run as administrator “
b)    
Go to the IIS7 directory. This is located in the %WINDIR%\System32\InetSrv directory by default. The configuration files are stored in the InetSrv\Config directory.
Backup the applicationHost.config file by creating a backup object with the aid of the APPCMD command-line tool.
cd /d %windir%\system32\inetsrv
appcmd add backup NewConfigBackup
13.
Copy the old applicationHost.config(step 1 and 8) to replace the new applicationHost.config under the C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config
14.
Reset IIS (iisreset ) in Command Prompt with Run as Administrator.
Then please test the result.
If the issue persists, as this issue could be closely related to IIS, I suggest further discussing it in our IIS fourm:
