    Every time a user at my job gets that message (at least in my experiences), there is usually an update for Remote Desktop(if that is what you are using). I have them open MS Remote Desktop and in the top right, if there is an update, a green mark will show on the 3 dots. I have them click on that and run the update. Once it's finished, they can connect successfully.

    Hope this helps.

    I forced reinstall of Windows Desktop client + redowload the rdpw file and i'm able to connect to azure vm now.
    But I suppose is not the best way => And I wouldn't ask all users to do that

    Other info:
    region: west-europe
    OS of vm: W10

    Regards.
