Error extending Linux VM disk - This subscription is not registered to use Microsoft.Compute / TestSubscription feature

Question

Hi,

I am a new user to Azure and I deployed a template from a QNAP NAS. This computer is throwing me an error in which I must expand the disk space where the operating system is.

I did as specified in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/expand-disks but trying to expand the disk using

az disk update --resource-group QNAP8701_GROUP --name Qnap8701_OsDisk_1_8c9a182f51a641aea013e33188e5d47e --size-gb 64

It throws the error (BadRequest) This subscription is not registered to use Microsoft.Compute / TestSubscription feature.

After doing some research I entered through the Azure GUI and Microsoft.Compute is active in the resource providers.

Any ideas?

Regards,

@Jhon Castañeda Welcome to Microsoft Q&A, Thank you for posting the query!
Firstly, apologies for the delay in responding here and any inconvenience this issue may have caused.
Based on the error the message: By default, your Azure Subscription is not registered with all resource providers and because your Subscription is not registered with Microsoft.Compute resource provider, you're getting this error.

You can use also az command-line tool

To register  
az provider register --namespace Microsoft.Compute  
Notes:     Execute both commands before to log in and switch to the desired subscription  
  
az login  
az account set --subscription <name or id>  

For more information, please refer to this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/error-register-resource-provider

Hope this helps!
