There could be several reasons why JQuery Datatables are not functioning properly in ASP.NET MVC 5. Some possible reasons include:

1) Compatibility issues: JQuery Datatables may not be compatible with the version of ASP.NET MVC 5 that is being used. In such cases, upgrading/downgrading the version of either JQuery Datatables or ASP.NET MVC could resolve the issue.

2) Missing dependencies: JQuery Datatables may rely on other libraries, such as JQuery, that are not properly installed or referenced. In such cases, ensuring that all necessary dependencies are present could help resolve the issue.

3) Incorrect configuration: JQuery Datatables may not be configured properly, either because of incorrect code or configuration settings. In such cases, reviewing the documentation and verifying the configuration could help fix the problem.

4) Server-side errors: Issues with server-side code, such as improperly formatted responses or errors in the data being returned, could cause JQuery Datatables to malfunction. In such cases, reviewing server-side code and troubleshooting any errors could help resolve the issue.

5) Browser compatibility: JQuery Datatables may not function properly in certain browser types or versions. In such cases, testing the site using different browsers or updating the browser could help resolve the issue.
