Loading this assembly would produce a different grant set from other instances. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131401)

The error occurs recently when one of our client migrated their VMs.

Users were unable to open SharePoint Sites. After support ticket, when we checked the SharePoint Server and browse the SharePoint sites or Central Administrator, page was blank/404 error.

At first, I reset IIS and restart the server. However, no luck :(.

Secondly, I checked services, databases and server and found all are in normal state.

Then, I re-run the SharePoint Product configuration wizard and change webconfig file with Custom error to off.

Custom Error Off: Go to folder location of Central Administrator (from IIS) >> Open webConfig file >> Change customErrors mode on.

<system.web>
    <httpHandlers />
    <customErrors mode="Off" />

Right after this, when we open the SharePoint central administrator then got the actual error.

This error gave clue for solution. We did some google search and found the solution.

Resolution: Do register entry in App server.

Create a new registry DWORD value called LoaderOptimization and give it the value 1 within the key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework”

Another workaround solution:

From:
<trust level="Full" originUrl="" legacyCasModel="true" />
To:
<trust level="Full" originUrl="" legacyCasModel="false" />

Kind Regards!
