I have an https intranet web site on an Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Datacenter Azure Edition. When I try to bring up the site, it keeps prompting for my user name and password. I have tried every combination of user name and password under the sun, including my credentials, the App Pool credentials, etc. etc.. It never accepts any credentials at all. When I click cancel, the web server returns HTTP Error 401.2 - Unauthorized. You are not authorized to view this page due to invalid authentication headers.

I have tried adding it to the intranet zone, the trusted zone, etc. etc. Nothing works. I have tried this in both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge and the result is the same.

I have searched the web hundreds of times for a solution to this, without success.

See the screen prints for more details.

Please help me solve this issue. It has baffled me for weeks now.
