There are actually 3 users that IIS access files with on .NET sites: IIS_IUSRS, IUSR, and NETWORK SERVICE
Grant all 3 IIS users Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read permissions on the entire WP folder
For file management (e.g. plugin/theme installation & updates), grant all 3 of the IIS users Full Control on the wp_content folder.
