GCP, despite existing forwarding rule no external IP on IIS

Question

I have a virutal windows server machine running on GCP.

On that machine I have an IIS with several web sites.

Untill recent windows update and restart in Site Binding I was able to see the external IP from the forwarding rule, like this:

Example from another, working server

But now the external IP is not listed, despite the forwarding rule exists:

The real state of the server in question

And because of this my sites are not working.

I've tried to deleting and creating forwarding rules via GCP Shell using gcloud compute forwarding-rules delete ... and gcloud compute forwarding-rules create ... to no avail.

With and without restarts after executing each of these commands or ageter both in a row.

Thank you for any help.

The problem was resolved with GCP support. There's a service GCEAgent (Google Compute Engine Agent). It was stopped despite its startup type is automatic. Starting the service brought all forwarded IP addresses back to IIS site binding window.
