Hi Bri,
Thank you for reaching out to us! If you are encountering issues with the Azure portal's Cloud Shell,
I recommend trying to install the Azure CLI locally on your machine. Should you run into problems locally, you can switch back to Cloud Shell for troubleshooting. By comparing both environments, we can identify the issue more effectively and ensure a swift resolution. Whichever environment works for your local or Cloud Shell use that as your immediate solution while we investigate further.
To install the Azure CLI on your Windows computer, open PowerShell and use the Windows Package Manager with a simple command. Alternatively, you can download the installer from the Microsoft website and follow the instructions provided. There’s also the option to download a ZIP file, unzip it, and add it to your system path. Once installed, restart your terminal window, and you’ll be good to go with the az version command to verify the installation.
For detailed instructions, please refer to the documentation: Install Azure CLI on Windows
