try this web.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <configuration>
        <system.webServer>
            <rewrite>
                <rules>
                    <rule name="Rewrite to index.php">
                        <match url="index.php|robots.txt|images|test.php" />
                        <action type="None" />
                    </rule>
                    <rule name="Rewrite CI Index">
                        <match url="^(.*)$" />
                        <conditions>
                            <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
                            <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
                        </conditions>
                        <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php/{R:1}" appendQueryString="false" /> </rule>
                </rules>
            </rewrite>
        </system.webServer>
    </configuration>

In the config.php file, change $config['uri_protocol']= 'QUERY_STRING' to $config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO'.
