    Hello, @Vanessa Simoes !

    Why am I getting a "The VM extension with publisher 'Microsoft.HpcCompute' and type 'NvidiaGpuDriverWindows' could not be found." error?

    An issue has been identified that was causing older versions of this extension to be deleted. The latest version should be working. For new deployments using NvidiaGpuDriverWindows, please use version 1.8.

    If the extension has already been installed and the VM is failing to start, please try deleting the extension and installing the latest version (1.8).

    An alternative option would be to try to update the extension with the following command (updating fields as needed):

    az resource update --ids /subscriptions/$subscription/resourceGroups/$resourcegroup/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/$vmname/extensions/NvidiaGpuDriverWindows --set properties.typeHandlerVersion=1.8
    

    I hope this has been helpful! Your feedback is important so please take a moment to accept answers.
