Cannot use sandbox within Microsoft Learn course exercises.

I've recently start having issues whenever I need to login to the sandbox inside an exercise for my AZ-104 self-study.

i.e. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/control-network-traffic-flow-with-routes/3-exercise-create-custom-routes?activate-azure-sandbox=true



I've completed a lot of exercises which need sandbox access previously and have only recently started getting this error.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

    Get a Microsoft Azure Account

    If you don’t have an organization-provided account, you can create an Azure Free Account.

    Go to this link: azure.microsoft.com/free/

    Sign up using a valid work or school email (not Yahoo, Gmail, etc.).

    Use this new account to log in to the sandbox.

     

    Verify Your Microsoft Learn Profile

    Go to this link: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/users/me

    Check under Settings, then Email Address.

    If your primary email is your Yahoo address, add a work/school email and set it as primary.

     

    Hopefully, this solves your issue!
