Stopping a Azure VM in auto scale set and letting it start again

I have 3 VMs in my Azure autoscale set. My question is if I stop one of the VMs using the Azure Portal manually (i.e. deallocate it) will the AutoScale Set be able to start it again?

I have been through this but it still doesn't answer my question.

Instead of starting the deallocated VM, if usage was high enough to trigger scale-out, Autoscale would create a new VM.

The deallocated VM would remain deallocated until you started it, issued a start to the scale set, or until it was deleted by autoscale scaling in.

Nope. Autoscale will not start a deallocated VM in a scale set :)
