When editing VM it seems as though I'm being kicked out and machine template shuts down. Even though I have set it up to not shutdown will IDLE. Any tips ?

@LegendGlenn-6404 ,

There could be several reasons why your Azure VM is shutting down while you are editing it. Here are a few things you can check:

Check the VM's Auto-Shutdown setting: If the Auto-Shutdown feature is enabled, the VM will shut down at the specified time. You can check and modify this setting by going to the VM's "Overview" page in the Azure portal and then clicking on the "Auto-Shutdown" blade.

Check for any error messages or warnings: When the VM shuts down, it may display an error message or warning that can provide more information about the cause of the shutdown. You can check the VM's "Boot Diagnostics" logs for this information.

Check for any active maintenance events: Azure VMs may be shut down for maintenance purposes, such as to apply updates or perform hardware maintenance. You can check for any active maintenance events by going to the VM's "Maintenance" blade in the Azure portal.

Check the VM's resource limits: If the VM runs out of resources (e.g. CPU, memory, or disk space), it may shut down to prevent resource contention. You can check the VM's resource utilization using Azure Monitor or look at the VM's "Metrics" blade in the Azure portal.

Check for any network or connectivity issues: If the VM cannot connect to the network or the internet, it may shut down. You can check the VM's network connectivity by looking at the VM's "Network" blade in the Azure portal and by checking for any active network issues in the Azure Service Health page.

If none helps, you may consider opening a support request with Azure Support to get further assistance.
