Failed to start virtual machine

Hi Denny Wei,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

When you try to stop, start, restart, or redeploy an existing VM, the process fails, and you receive an "An unexpected error occurred while processing the network profile of the VM. Please retry later" error message. When this error occurs, the VM is put into a failed state.

Cause

This issue occurs if there is a problem in allocating or updating network resources.

Resolution

Try to reapply the virtual machine state. This operation reruns VM provisioning and helps resolve the VM state failure that occurs if VM provisioning failed when you ran a previous VM action.

1. Update the VM objects and properties by running the reapply command in the Azure portal:
   1. Navigate to the VM that's stuck in the Failed state.
   2. Under Support + troubleshooting, select Redeploy + reapply.
   3. Select the Reapply option.

In the meantime,

(a) use PowerShell to get the status of your Azure VM and post the information here

✔ you can use: Get-AzureRmVM, or Get-AzVM
