I am wondering if that's the reason you are unable to do so. Are you able to perform other actions on this VM?
Can you click on the error in the notifications and share more details on the error (JSON etc.)?Additional reading: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/agents/agent-windows-troubleshoot?tabs=UpdateMMA

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/visualize/vmext-troubleshoot
The easiest way to do this is to confirm that you can see the VM agent log file at
C:\WindowsAzure\logs\WaAppAgent.log. If you can't, the VM agent isn't installed and you'll need to install it: -
