I created an ASP.NET MVC 5 application and am trying to publish it to Azure (I have an active subscription). When I right-click a project and select "Publish to Azure", the modal "Create App Service" appears and just freezes. I need to kill the visual studio process to shut it down.

I tried this on several virtual machines, some Windows Server 2012 and some Windows 10, both from my office network and at home, so I would confidently assume that this is not a problem with a specific environment, but rather a big problem.
Any ideas?
