HI Team

We are currently facing a persistent issue with Standard E2bs v5 virtual machines in the Central India datacenter that are using the Windows Server 2012 Azure image.

The issue is as follows:

The VM does not boot properly and gets stuck at the Hyper-V screen.

It typically requires around 10 stop/start attempts before the VM successfully boots.

We have already replaced the disk and tested, but the issue persists.

This behavior appears to be specific to the Windows Server 2012 Azure image on this VM size.
