runbook Start-AzureRMVM works but never ends

I have strange problem, while doing tutorials for starting VM from automation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation-first-runbook-textual

My code is exactly like in first step, and it authenticates corretly:

workflow MyFirstRunbook-Workflow
    {
    $Conn = Get-AutomationConnection -Name AzureRunAsConnection
    Add-AzureRMAccount -ServicePrincipal -Tenant $Conn.TenantID -ApplicationId $Conn.ApplicationID -CertificateThumbprint $Conn.CertificateThumbprint
    Start-AzureRmVM -Name 'VMName' -ResourceGroupName 'ResourceGroupName'
    }

Even when I check, VM starts, but runbook never ends. It just says: "Running...." (more dots are appending all the time). Any idea why is this happening? As it clearly works, but for some reason cannot end. And I think all settings are like in tutorial... It is Powershell Workflow runbook.

To troubleshoot this issue more efficiently, we should do some test.
1.Use PowerShell to get the job status, script like this:

PS C:\windows\system32> Login-AzureRmAccount
PS C:\windows\system32> Get-AzureRmAutomationJob -Id '29caa9f3-1862-4710-b1d3-c98c1841966f' -ResourceGroupName 'vm' -AutomationAccountName 'jasonrunbook' | select status

Status
------
Completed

2.Please test this PowerShell workflow runbook:

workflow jasontest2
{

    $Conn = Get-AutomationConnection -Name AzureRunAsConnection
    Add-AzureRMAccount -ServicePrincipal -Tenant $Conn.TenantID -ApplicationId $Conn.ApplicationID -CertificateThumbprint $Conn.CertificateThumbprint
    $a = get-azurermvm -Name 'vmname' -ResourceGroupName 'rg'
    write-output $a
    Start-AzureRmVM -Name 'vmname' -ResourceGroupName 'rg'
    write-output "ok"

}

Then find the result in Output, if it still show running, please post the screenshot here.
