    Hi @Richa Nagrath ,

    You will need to check the Azure Activity log viewer on the portal and check the activities or changes occured on the VM, note - Activity log events are retained in Azure for 90 days and then deleted. So if it outside 90 days you will not be able to check the events,

    activity-log

    Hi @Richa Nagrath ,

    As JimmySalian-2011 mention above you can know that by checking the Activity Logs.
    Specifically, you will check for a "Create or Update Virtual Machine" operation name.

    The retention period is for 90 days, but if you want to keep for more time your logs you can use Azure Monitor.
