That sounds like you might be running into a policy issue. Azure policies are used to enforce compliance with security and other requirements. If there is a policy that is preventing you from creating a virtual machine in a particular resource group, you will see an error message that says "Blocked by policy."

To troubleshoot this issue, you can follow these steps:

1. Go to the Azure Policy blade in the Azure portal.
2. Click on the "Subscriptions" tab.
3. Select the subscription that you are having trouble with.
4. Click on the "Resource groups" tab.
5. Find the resource group that you are trying to create a virtual machine in.
6. Click on the "Policies" tab.
7. Look for any policies that are assigned to the resource group.
8. If you find a policy that is blocking you from creating a virtual machine, you can either:

• Unassign the policy from the resource group.
  • Modify the policy to allow you to create the virtual machine.

For more information on troubleshooting Azure policy issues, you can refer to the following resources:

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
