UseDefaultFiles pick these files by default.

default.htm
default.html
index.htm
index.html

If that not worked in your case. You can specify name of your default file with DefaultFilesOptions.

DefaultFilesOptions options = new DefaultFilesOptions();
options.DefaultFileNames.Clear();
options.DefaultFileNames.Add("index.html");
app.UseDefaultFiles(options);

You can also use app.UseFileServer();, it combines the functionality of

app.UseDefaultFiles();
app.UseStaticFiles();

Note: UseDefaultFiles must be called before UseStaticFiles to serve the default file. UseDefaultFiles is a URL re-writer that doesn't actually serve the file. You must enable the static file middleware (UseStaticFiles) to serve the file.

P.S. also update your packages to most latest.

This actually helped me, wouldn't have figured out that my problem was the order of defaultfiles and staticfiles alone... Or would, after a lot of pain. Thanks.

Try this.

app.UseMvc(config =>
            {
                config.MapRoute(
                    name: "Default",
                     template: "{controller=*YourControllerName*}/{action=Index}/{id?}"
                );
            });
