After stoping virtual machine Azure portal do not show "start" option
Hi @Carlos Pineda ,
which Status is shown in the Azure Portal for the VM? The Status should be Stopped (deallocated) before you can start the VM again.
(If the reply was helpful please don't forget to upvote and/or accept as answer, thank you)

Hello @Carlos Pineda,
It could be just cashing issue in your browser.
I'd recommend to refresh the web page and check again.
In addition, please insure what the deallocate operation is fully completed and your VM shows the status "deallocated".
Sincerely,
Olga Os.
Hello Olga Osinskaya,
Thanks a lot for your help.
I think the problem was a fail in Azure because the status was:
The current versión is Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS, may be I need to update to Ubuntu 20 or 22.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards.
It could be either an issue with the operating system (resulting in a hung state) or a problem at the platform level.
When you initiate a request to Stop/Deallocate a Virtual Machine (VM), the Azure Platform sends a request to the VM's operating system, asking it to shut down gracefully.
Afterward, it patiently waits for confirmation of a successful VM shutdown. However, if the guest operating system does not respond as expected, the process of deallocation may either take more time than usual or fail altogether.
You can check Health status of your VM to determinate if there was any Platform level incidents affecting it at the specified time period.
In response to your question about whether to upgrade to Ubuntu 20 or 22, I strongly advise proceeding with the upgrade if you are using the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) on Azure.
You can continue to use your existing VMs. However, security, feature, and maintenance updates will no longer be provided by Canonical and may leave your systems vulnerable. We recommend that you either migrate to the next Ubuntu LTS release or upgrade to Ubuntu Pro to gain access to extended security and maintenance from Canonical.
