Azure Virtual Desktop - New VM paging file issue

Hello. After second boot from a newly created VM (W10 Ent Gen 2) for AVD, I receive an error message regarding paging file. Error:

"Windows created a temporary paging file on your computer because of a problem that occurred with your paging file configuration when you started your computer. The total paging file size for all disk drives may be somewhat larger than the size you specified."

The VM was built from the D2s_v3 which has temp storage of 16GB. I see the temp storage drive from within the VM. No data nor app has been installed to the temp storage drive.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thx

John

    @JohnE2

    The issue could be with a custom image. If you want to use the same image, would recommend to recreate image and Sysprep it and try again.

    You can get this issue fixed by changing the VM type to a one with more robust temp storage.

    Hope that helps.
