I have created a VM, now I need to disable secure boot. as soon as I disable and VM starts it gets enabled again. I have tried deleting and recreating the VM.

    Check the current security type:

    az vm show -g <resource-group> -n <vm-name> --query securityProfile.securityType

    If it returns TrustedLaunch, create a new VM with security type set to Standard:

    az vm create \
  -g <resource-group> \
  -n <vm-name> \
  --image <image> \
  --security-type Standard

    Security type cannot be changed from TrustedLaunch after creation, so redeployment is required.

    Alternatively, you can simply use a Gen1 image because Gen1 does not support Trusted Launch or Secure Boot.
