404 Returned Immediately after Login - Sitefinity - Bugs & Issues

We have a project running on Sitefinity 7.1, which we've been running for years (since 4.x) and haven't had this issue before.

Recently I upgraded to Windows 10, configured IIS to have all the right Handlers etc. as per Progress's recommendations and I get to the point where the site runs successfully.

The problem is on the backend. When I browse to /sitefinity it correctly redirects me to dev.customer.com/.../Login (note: dev.customer.com is based on an entry in my hosts file).
I enter my credentials and click login after which it redirects me back to /sitefinity and throws a 404 error.

If however I manually add /Pages behind /Sitefinity, it correctly displays the pages backend page. I can edit and publish/save pages, news items and blogs, etc. So the problem seems specifically related to the /Sitefinity page. If I manually add a '/' behind /Sitefinity it correctly redirects me to the dashboard page.

The only thing I can think of is that one of my rewrite rules are causing this issue. Here are my rules:

<rewrite>

<rules>

<rule name="LowerCaseRule1" stopProcessing="true">

<match url="^(Sitefinity/)" ignoreCase="true" negate="true"/>

<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">

<add input="URL" pattern="[A-Z]" ignoreCase="false"/>

<add input="URL" pattern="\.axd" negate="true"/>

<add input="URL" pattern="\.xamlx" negate="true"/>

<add input="URL" pattern="\.ashx" negate="true"/>

<add input="URL" pattern="\.asmx" negate="true"/>

<add input="URL" pattern="\.xap" negate="true"/>

<add input="URL" pattern="bundles" negate="true"/>

<add input="URL" pattern="/App_Themes" negate="true"/>

<add input="REQUEST_FILENAME" pattern="SFRes" negate="true"/>

<add input="REQUEST_FILENAME" pattern="RestApi" negate="true"/>

</conditions>

<action type="Redirect" url="ToLower:URL" redirectType="Permanent"/>

</rule>

<rule name="RemoveTrailingSlashRule1" stopProcessing="true">

<match url="(.*)/$"/>

<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">

<add input="REQUEST_FILENAME" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true"/>

<add input="REQUEST_FILENAME" matchType="IsFile" negate="true"/>

<add input="REQUEST_FILENAME" pattern="(.*?)\.svc$" negate="true"/>

<add input="REQUEST_FILENAME" pattern="bundles" negate="true"/>

</conditions>

<action type="Redirect" url="R:1"/>

</rule>

</rules>

</rewrite>

Final note: On our production server this issue doesn't exist , which is Windows Server 2012 Standard/IIS 8.0

Any help would be appreciated
