Azure Virtual Desktop

Hi There 

Hope you are doing great!

I am new to Azure and Virtual Desktop and require some help to set it up correctly. 

I have created and setup the Virtual Desktop but looking for an option to automatically shut it down and deallocate, there is only 1 machine running and usually 1 user connects to it. if that user is not accessing the machine it needs to be deallocated after 30 or 15 min. 

Is it something anyone can help? 

Many Thanks

    Enable Auto-Shutdown for Virtual Desktop or VM:

    • Navigate to the Virtual Machine or Virtual Desktop in the Azure portal.
    • Under Operations, select Auto-shutdown.
    • Configure the desired shutdown time (e.g., set to 5:00 PM daily).
    • Optionally, enable a notification to alert you prior to the scheduled shutdown.
