Hello,
not every VM size in Azure allows nested virtualization.

No The issue isn't solved
Hello IBNABBASMOHAMMEDELHADIABBASAHMED-9487, If you want to use Nested Virtualization the present configuration doesn't support it so you will have to recreate the machine or enable it on a different machine. Please do let me know the SKU and the OS you are using.
The Dv3 and Ev3 sizes are also some of the first VM’s to be running on Windows Server 2016 hosts. Windows 2016 hosts enable Nested Virtualization and Hyper-V Containers for these new VM sizes. Nested virtualization allows you to run a Hyper-V server on an Azure virtual machine. With nested virtualization you can run a Hyper-V Container in a virtualized container host, set-up a Hyper-V lab in a virtualized environment, or to test multi-machine scenarios. You can find more information on Nested Virtualization on Azure.
