    Why does it always search inside Views/Home/Home.cshtml

    The default web view engine is setup to look for views based on the controller they are being rendered from i.e. Views/{Controller}/View.cshtml and then subsequently Views/Shared/View.cshtml for views which are shared across multiple controllers.

    Can’t I have it directly as Views/Home.cshtml

    Yes you can, all you need to do is give the full path to where your view is e.g

    View("~/Views/Home.cshtml")

    However, I don’t really see why you would want to. MVC keeps your views tidy & makes it easy to see which views are rendered by which controllers.
