Hi Neo Moima,

Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

Based on the screenshot provided, it seems that you're facing difficulties when attempting to create a virtual machine from the sandbox.

To resolve this issue, please follow these troubleshooting steps:

Step 1: Sign out from all tabs in your current browser and clear the cache. Then, attempt to log in again using your Learn ID credentials.
Step 2: Log out of your current browser session and try logging in again using an incognito window or private browsing mode.
Step 3: Switch to a different browser and attempt to log in again.
Step 4: Try logging in with a new personal Microsoft email account in the learning path using a completely different browser. If you don't have one, please create a new free Microsoft account. Note that you need to sign in with a Microsoft account, such as Office 365 or Outlook.com, for sandbox access.
Step 5: If you are still unable to create a resource due to insufficient permissions in the sandbox subscription, we recommend signing up for an Azure free account through the provided link https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free and creating a sandbox environment there.

Please refer to the following link for instructions on how to conduct Microsoft Learn training exercises using your own subscription:
