I have tried to start a VM I use every day and I have this error. I have tried to create a new one as a workaround and that failed with the same error. I have tried reapplying and redeploying, but all fail with the same error.

No version found in the artifact repository that satisfies the requested version '' for VM extension with publisher 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.GuestAgent' and type 'CRPProd'..
ArtifactVersionNotFound
Provisioning state error code ProvisioningState/failed/ArtifactVersionNotFound

    @Ryan Clark Starting at 05:12 UTC on 13 Oct 2021, a subset of customers using Windows Virtual Machines may experience failure notifications when performing service management operations - such as create, update, delete. Deployments of new VMS and any updates to extensions may fail. Non-Windows Virtual Machines, and existing running Windows Virtual Machines should not be impacted by this issue.

    Please follow this page for status updates: https://status.azure.com/en-gb/status

    Also I checked internally and got to know that mitigation is being applied internally now across the regions. Will keep you posted once there is an update.

    As per the latest updates from various customers VMs have started running in West US 2,West Europe and East US. You can check at your end if it has started working for you or not.
