Problem withVM creation on free account subscription.

Question

After setting up all required fields, providing my own ssh rsa public key which was earlier generated on previous try of VM creation (which failed because Resource Group was not empty - the only resource linked to this group was this public key which was copied and then deleted to create VM).

And now whenever I'm clicking create button, nothing happens, screen is freezing, then I can see short blink and Create button becomes active once again but there wasn't any VM created on that time.

I decided to leave feedback after 10 minutes of fighting with Azure to create this VM, but to my surprise, Feedback side pop-up window also doesn't work. You can try to click on text field to write anything, but nothing happens, there is a checkbox down below to agree on contact, but it doesn't work, there is also Submit button, but this one isn't active (probably until you will write anything in text field, what can't be done) and Cancel button which is active, but - it doesn't work and then only way to close this shadow Feedback window is to click on "X" in upper right corner.

Personally, I'm an embedded developer in safety projects and I'm sending many thanks to God that Microsoft isn't preparing any solutions for us. Because everything which is create by MS is crap.

Sorry, there is one "Good" product, MS Teams with its skin color tones and possibility to add multiple reactions. LOL. After so many years on market it is a shame to deliver such poor-quality products.

Hello Krzysztof Rejment,

We understand how frustrating it can be to encounter issues with the Azure Portal with each option you try.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the Azure Portal UI problems; we'll request you to share your feedback here for the same: https://feedback.azure.com/

To fix the screen freeze issue, it 'd be worth trying to clear browser history, cookies, cache and retrying from fresh login to the account or trying to access the Azure Portal from different browser or incognito mode (private window) or trying Guest profile of your browser to see if that also runs into same issue.

Workaround to create Azure VM:

To get yourself immediately unblocked from creating an Azure Virtual Machine, you could try Azure CLI commands to create a VM from Azure Portal Cloudshell (also known as Console). For more details, see: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/quick-create-cli

Sample command:

az vm create -n MyVm -g MyRG --image Ubuntu2204 --size Standard_B2ms

Please note here:
->MyVm is the name of my virtual machine.

->MyRG is the name of my resource group in which the virtual machine is going to be created.

->Ubuntu2204 is the OS image with which MyVm is going to be created.

-> Stanard_B2ms is the VM size of which myVm is going to be created.

More such sample commands are added as examples listed on: ttps://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/vm?view=azure-cli-latest#az-vm-create-examples

Let me know if there is any blocker faced while creating VM using Azure CLI command!!
