Hi,

Please check if Azure CLI is still in path and working. At windows command prompt (cmd.exe), or powershell prompt, enter below command:

az --version

This should return the Azure CLI version information. If you get an error and it display any information, that typically means Azure CLI isn't in the path or not installed.

Check that Azure CLI is still in the PATH environment variable:

At window command prompt (cmd.exe), enter following command:

path

You should see long string that is wrapped onto multiple lines, each path separated by semicolons. The correct path to Azure CLI should be in there, something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\CLI2\wbin
