Unable to connect to an upgraded EC2 windows instance

I have a t2.medium instance running windows server 2008 and I want to change it to a m5.large instance. When I stop it and change it to m5.large instance when I try to connect to it via RDP it throws an error saying that maybe my machine isn't running. If I change it again to a t2.medium instance, I am able again to connect to it via RDP.

Do you have any solution to fix this? Or is it a bug?

Thanks you all

M5 instance type uses the new hypervisor from AWS called Nitro. If the AMI you originally launched isnt compatible with Nitro it could cause issues. Try switching to an M4.Large or something other then a M5 or C5 and see if the issue persists.
