Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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