From my understanding, you have a Windows Server 2022 Datacenter Azure Edition VM. When you try to apply updates, you see the error.Can you pls share the following details:
- Your Azure Subscription type (Free Trial, Pay-as-you-go?)
-Is this a new VM you recently created?
-How are you trying to apply updates to the Azure VM? Share the steps, screenshots.

Petri Kaukua 100 Reputation points2024-04-24T00:52:25.01+00:00 We are facing this issue with our VMs in Azure and its been couple of days. We tried to reboot and reactivate manually but after every restart the VM deactivates itself as "it is not running on Azure or a supported Azure Stack hypervisor"

Jordi Lores 0 Reputation points2024-04-30T10:43:47.7933333+00:00 We had the same issue.
RCA: This is due to recent intermediate certificate changes that went in KB5036909 (April 9, 2024 Security update (KB5036909) - Microsoft Support). Please check if the KB installed - KB5036909. That was caused by this KB. Somehow corrupted the certificate.
In the end, we had to manually upload the "Microsoft Azure RSA RLS Issuing CA 03" cert, and everything worked
