1) After login the portal, go to Virtual Machines  - > Search for instance.

 

2) In the instance left panel menu, Support + troubleshooting  -> Boot diagnostics  -> Settings -> Select Enable with managed storage account (recommended)  -> Save.

 

If it is not being enabled, the message of 'Boot diagnostics is not configured for this virtual machine' will be visible.
