I am trying to create a virtual computer for myself with Azure Virtual Desktop and getting an error message saying "your computer could not connect to another console session on the remote computer because you already have a console in progress.

Azure Virtual Desktop

What is Azure Virtual Desktop?

AVD provides a desktop and application virtualization platform on top of the Azure public cloud. That last part is crucial, as it highlights a potential departure on Microsoft’s behalf from offering virtualization services exclusively to Windows users.



With WVD, users could access Windows 10 applications and desktops from virtually anywhere via Windows, Android, iOS, and macOS devices, as well as HTML5 web browsers. Soon, though, AVD will support more operating systems, including Linux.



By leveraging the public cloud infrastructure, Azure Virtual Desktop can offer increased scalability, enhanced collaboration, and less expensive licensing fees than WVD. Further, AVD is a Desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) offering, which means that companies don’t need to support the underlying layers of technology. All they have to do is set it up and administer it.

1. Enhancements to Windows 10 Enterprise Multi-Session VMs

Remote Desktop Session Hosts allow several users to access a single virtual desktop on Windows 10 at the same time so that users can continue to use familiar Windows 10 applications and desktops with their existing per-user Microsoft 365 licenses.



With AVD, you can manage both virtual and physical desktops with Microsoft Endpoint Manager in the same way that you can with shared physical devices.

2. Automatic enrollment of AVD Virtual Machines

In the past, Microsoft created WVD QuickStart to enable users to deploy the virtual desktop service in as little as 1-2 hours for a basic setup, and as little as a few hours from start to finish – all without digging through Microsoft documentation or spending weeks (even months) testing the service.



Despite this, Microsoft did not consider WVD QuickStart one of its official products. But now WVD QuickStart has been formally integrated into the Azure portal with full support, and has been renamed simply ‘QuickStart’.

3. Azure Virtual Desktop VMs join Azure Active Directory

Password and username-related cyber attacks increased by 450% in 2020. ForgeRocks’ 2021 Consumer Identity Breach Report also revealed that phishing and ransomware attacks followed at 25% and 17%, respectively.



Though these findings focus on consumers, they’re notable for enterprise organizations as well, as many employees use their personal devices to log in to their company’s portals. Hackers may use compromised personal devices to gain access to your company’s sensitive data, especially in the healthcare, financial, and technology sectors.

Azure Virtual machine creating error

Not seeing the error you posted just the create virtual machine option in azure blade.

I teach azure for a living so let me know where you are stuck at and I can definitely help.

But the easiest and fastest way to create a VM is click create a resource in the top left and then click compute. From there select the o/s you want to create.
