→Part 3: Shutting Down Windows Safely
# Don't worry about going into the Windows OS and shutting down first. Azure sends a signal to the VM to shut down safely.
# If your VM status says stopped, but does not include the '''(Deallocated)''' text, then resources are still being held by the VM and we're still being charged. The stop button will still be available, so click it.
# When you want to start the VM up again, click the '''Start''' button at the top of the blade.
# If you want to reboot the VM, do so from inside the OS.
