Cant connect to the Azure SQL Database

For the past month I have been using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio tool to connect to my database which created on the Azure portal. Recently I received updates from Microsoft related to Microsoft Visual Studio. After I installed these, I can't connect to my SQL database (previously it was working fine). Update History Screenshot I attached the screenshot of recent updates (which I installed) and the error message for your view.Error Message Please help to solve this issue.

note: I am an SQL beginner, so I don't know many technical things related to tools, so please keep your answers to my level, Thanks!

Update: Error Message TITLE: Connect to Server

Cannot connect to abcxyz.database.windows.net.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)

The network path was not found

This error means that you tried to create a connection to an endpoint and you were expecting a acknowledgment from sql server, however, that acknowledgement did not occur. This means that you are either blocked by your own network, a network in route, or the endpoint network (which all three could be your own if, running locally). I would start by pinging that server ip address and seeing what you come up with.
