just installed 4.8.0 - and it's the same thing.

With windows authentication, unregistered users endlessly loop when they surf to the site.

very frustrating...

Are you running the Windows Authentication using Forms Authentication in your web.config? The only time I've been able to recreate the endless loop has been when cookies are turned off.

Cookies are enabled.
The following is from my web.config:

    <!-- Forms or Windows authentication -->
    <!--
    <authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms name=".DOTNETNUKE" protection="All" timeout="60" cookieless="UseCookies" />
    </authentication>
    -->
    <identity impersonate="true"/>
    <authentication mode="Windows">
    </authentication>

Can you do me a favor and try setting it up like the following:

<!-- Forms or Windows Authentication -->
<authentication mode="Forms">
   <forms name=".DOTNETNUKE" protection"All" timeout-"60" cookieless="UseCookies" />
</authentication>
<identity impersonate="true" userName="DOMAIN\Username" password="password" />
<!-- authentcation mode="Windows"/> -->

You'll have to give the user you define the same rights to your DNN install directory as NETWORK SERVICE has but the user doesn't have to have any special rights to the Active Directory other than read (which domain users normally have by default).

OK - I tried it.
Seems to work like normal forms authentication. I see no difference with or without the identity tag.
Users can surf to the site and see default pages, and need to use a DNN id/pwd to login.

But I'm not interested in DNN Forms logins.

FYI:
- For Windows authentication: In IIS I am turning OFF anonymous access - ON integrated windows and basic authentication. 
- For Forms authentication: IIS access control seems to have no effect.
