Answer 1

Hello Joe Comeau,

The issue you’re seeing is caused by the Windows Broker (WAM) login mechanism in Azure CLI. Please follow the steps below to fix it:

1. Log out of all active Azure accounts. az account clear
2. Disable Windows broker config of Azure. az config set core.enable_broker_on_windows=false
3. Log back into your Azure account. az login
