authentication

I am using formsauthentication in Visual Studio 2019. Since I am using friendly urls, I have below shown code for forms authentication.

<system.web>
    <authentication mode="Forms">
        <forms name=".ASPXAUTH" loginUrl="Login" defaultUrl="Home" slidingExpiration="true" 
        timeout="60"></forms>
    </authentication>
    <authorization>
      <deny users="?"/>
    </authorization>
</system.web>

Configuration in web.config upto above works fine. I now want to add User register page that will not require user to be authenticated. I added following code for this:

<configuration>
    <location path="Register">
        <system.web>
        
    <authorization>
                <allow users="*"/>
            </authorization> 
        </system.web>
    </location>

I donot know why I am not able to access register page without login in page. I tried using register.aspx but still not able to login. I can this url in: https://localhost:44327/Login?ReturnUrl=%2fRegister

In older visual studio, it used to work. I have allowed all users to access the page but still register page is not opened without login. How can anonymous user access register page?

What I have tried:

I changed to

<location path="Register.aspx">

. set deny anonymous users in

<authorization>
