Same problem as in this thread: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1291616/while-trying-to-create-a-vm-in-the-sandbox-environ
Creating new thread as instructed there. Learning sandbox loops back to "Sign In With Your Account" after every sign-in attempt.
Hi Chris,
Please try my instructions below. If you have an issue or question, add a comment below.
You should be able to work around the issue by first Activating the sandbox (solving puzzles, reviewing permissions, etc.) and then once you see the sign-in box appear on the right open a new browser tab. In this new tab, browse to https://shell.azure.com. If your existing sandbox hasn't expired you can use that instead of activating a new one.
When prompted, click Bash (the exercise deals with both PowerShell and Bash. You can switch between them using button above the cloud shell window)
Next choose No storage account required, for Subscription select Concierge Subscription, and click Apply.
After several seconds delay while a cloud shell is requested and connected to, you should see $ prompt. At this point you can complete the exercises instructions, copy/paste code from exercise tab to cloud shell tab as needed, etc.
Please click Accept Answer and upvote if the above was helpful.
Thanks.

Hi TP - the concierge subscription isn't available to be selected. I have the learning module up in one tab with the sandbox activated (but saying I need to sign in on the right panel) and the shell in another tab on the same browser, but the only subscription that I see is the initial one that was set up when I registered. Any other ideas?

Click the gear icon in upper right corner and switch to Microsoft Learn Sandbox or similar. You might need to click the gear twice to get the directory window to show.
Once you have the directory set, try refreshing so you will get the "Getting started" as shown in your screenshot again. Then the Concierge subscription should be an option, assuming the sandbox hasn't expired. If it has expired you can activate a new one.
NOTE: From your screenshot it appears you have your own Azure subscription, which is wonderful. If you can't get sandbox to work you can use your own subscription for the exercises.
The "catch" is you will need to manually create your own resource group to match what the exercises expects, AND most importantly, delete the resource group(s) after completing each module. This is to avoid incurring excessive charges.
Perfect, thank you! Didn't realize that I needed to switch over to the sandbox first. Once I did that, I'm able to select the concierge subscription and complete the exercises in the separate tab.
