How to run a site in IIS without admin permissions

I had a site running in IIS 7.5 for more than a year now. It uses Windows Authentication..It was running fine until the server in which it was hosted was rebooted for a Windows update recently. After that in order to access the site an user has to be part of the Server Admin group or has to have exclusive permissions to the folder of the site.Cannot figure out why!!

What I have tried:

All permutations and combinations of Website, appPool and Application Settings. There is nothing wrong with the code as I tried a version of the code before the issue surfaced. Still facing the same issue.

Check the NTFS permissions on the folder containing your site.
Check the "authorization rules" and ".NET authorization" settings in IIS manager.
Try using the "failed request tracing" feature to see if it gives you any clue.
