Usually, when a server attempts to offer a file that is supposed to be executed as a download instead, there is no file extension association for it. This can be checked in both the handler mappings (where CF-associated file types are pointed to the isapi_redirect.dll file) and in your mime types (ensure that entries for CF-related extensions do NOT exist, or they may be interfering with the rendering process).

ColdFusion default renders CFM/L pages as text/html unless otherwise specified, so no mime type entries should exist. (But handlers need to exist, or CF is never handed off the request when someone visits a page)

You can try changing the application pool for your site and then observe the behavior. Like you have test site and default site then there will be 2 pools for each of them i.e test and default app pool. If you are facing issue with default web site then change the app pool of default site to test pool and then test the behavior. It might be the issue with the app pool
