Problems with static files django, IIS and windows 10

Hi I have Python 3.10.4, Django 4.0.4 and wfastcgi 3.0.0 installed. This on windows server 2016 and the latest version of IIS as of 05/20/2022. I have already run the command manage.py runserver collectstatic. Does not show static files when viewing the web application on the internet.

This file is web.config which is outside the project folder.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <handlers>
      <add name="Python FastCGI"
        path="*" 
        verb="*"
        modules="FastCgiModule" 
        scriptProcessor="C:\Python35\python.exe|C:\Python35\lib\site-packages\wfastcgi.py" 
        resourceType="Unspecified" />

      <add name="Proyectoqr" 
        path="*" 
        verb="*" 
        modules="FastCgiModule"
        scriptProcessor="C:\Python35\python.exe|C:\Python35\lib\site-packages\wfastcgi.py" 
        resourceType="Unspecified" 
        requireAccess="Script" />
      
      <add name="PythonHandler" 
        path="*" 
        verb="*" 
        modules="FastCgiModule" 
        scriptProcessor="C:\Python35\python.exe|C:\Python35\lib\site-packages\wfastcgi.py" 
        resourceType="Unspecified"
        requireAccess="Script" />
    </handlers>
  </system.webServer>

  <appSettings>
    <add key="PYTHONPATH" value="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\proyectoqr" />
    <add key="WSGI_HANDLER" value="proyectoqr.wsgi.application" />
    <add key="DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE" value="proyectoqr.settings" />
  </appSettings>
</configuration>  

This is the content of the web.config file in the static folder

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <handlers>
            <clear/>
            <add name="StaticFile" path="*" verb="*" modules="StaticFileModule" resourceType="File" requireAccess="Read"/>
        </handlers>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

I already added the virtual directory of the static folder with direction to the static folder of the project as shown in the following image.

If you need more information tell me to show you the code or configuration

This is how I create the url's in python

                    <li class="menu-item-has-children dropdown">
                        <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false"> <i class="menu-icon fa fa-book"></i>Historial de prestamos</a>
                        <ul class="sub-menu children dropdown-menu">                           
                             <li><i class="fa fa-table"></i><a href="{% url 'equipo:listar_prestamos' %}">Listado de prestamos</a></li>                    
                             <li><i class="fa fa-table"></i><a href="{% url 'equipo:listar_prestamos_no_devueltos' %}">Listado de prestamos en curso</a></li>
                             <li><i class="fa fa-table"></i><a href="{% url 'equipo:listar_prestamos_devueltos' %}">Listado de prestamos terminados</a></li>
                         </ul>
 
                     </li>

This is my urls.py file which is located in the project folder

from django.contrib import admin
#from django.conf.urls import url
from django.urls import path, include
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static

from django.contrib.auth import login, logout

from apps.usuariof.views import Login, logoutUsuario

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path("equipo/", include(("apps.equipo.urls","equipo"))),
    path("index", login_required(Inicio.as_view()), name="index"),
    path("test", Inicio.as_view(), name="test"),
    path('accounts/login/', Login.as_view(), name='login'),
    path("logout/", login_required(logoutUsuario), name="logout")
] + static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
