hello @Dave Campbell I hope you are doing well,
Ensure that your VM is based on a supported image for Hotpatching. The following images from the Azure Marketplace are designed for Hotpatching;
- Windows Server 2022 Datacenter: Azure Edition Hotpatch - Gen2
- Windows Server 2022 Datacenter: Azure Edition Core - Gen2 (Official Documentation )https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/enable-hotpatch-azure-edition
If your VM was created using a custom image or an ISO, additional configurations are required to enable Hotpatching.
