Make sure all HyperV service are running, but more importantly, can you click See detail inside your Windows, to know what is missing.

Answer 4

Which VM size did you deploy? I believe nested virtualization is only supported on the D_v3 and E_v3 series. Possibly the D_v4 and E_v4 series also.

Answer 5

This is the size of my windows server 2019 azure VM -
Is it not possible to run nested virtualization on this machine?
If not is there any way I can run Linux container on this machine?
