AVD session hosts show as unavailable after hibernation – VM running but agent not responding
Hi all,
I’m seeing an issue in our AVD environment that started around a month ago.
Some users report that in the morning they cannot connect to their session hosts.
Current observations:
- Session host VMs are hibernated overnight
- In the Azure portal, the VM shows as running normally after startup
- However, in the AVD host pool, the session host is marked as Unavailable
- The VM Agent appears to be not running
As a result, users are unable to connect.
Temporary workaround:
- If I stop and start the VM, the issue is resolved and the session host becomes available again
This seems to happen consistently after the overnight hibernation cycle.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue ?
