Question

I am working with SharePoint On premises environment.

I am facing a very strange issue while using the SharePoint site.

Whenever I open any URL it automatically insert following string the URL

_layouts/15/start.aspx#/

Example, when I open Site Content, the URL should be like 

http://URL:PORT NUMBER/_layouts/15/viewlsts.aspx

But it always takes as 

http://URL:PORT NUMBER/_layouts/15/start.aspx#//_layouts/15/viewlsts.aspx

And due to this I always get the following message

enter image description here

And when I remove the unwanted string then it works fine.

Any resolution to this or any reason why it always take the URL like this?

Was it helpful?

Solution

You are noticing the URL with _layouts/15/start.aspx because the feature Minimal Download Strategy is activated on your site.

If you don't want _layouts/15/start.aspx to be a part of your URL you need to deactivate Minimal Download Strategy feature available under Site Actions -> Manager Site Features
