webapp doesn't exist with Azure CLI 2.0.79

Question

I have upgraded recently to 2.0.79 due to the problems with 2.0.78 caused with static HTML pages I am following this Microsoft tutorial but keep getting the error

"webapp anotherwebapp doesn't exist"

when I enter the command:

 az webapp up --location westeurope --name anotherwebapp --html

The contents on the directory is listed below (dir):

08/01/2020  08:27 PM    <DIR>          .
08/01/2020  08:27 PM    <DIR>          ..

Any help with resolving this would be much appreciated!

First, are you sure "webapp anotherwebapp doesn't exist" is an error message? it should be a prompt since it actually does not exist.

I can successfully deploy it with 2.0.79, and the steps are as below:

1.Install azure cli 2.0.79 via downloading the .msi, then restarts the machcine.

2.Then in cmd prompt, nav to the folder where my html project resides -> run the command:

az webapp up --location westeurope --name anotherwebapp111 --html

The screenshot as below:

3.Nav to azure portal, I can see the site is deployed successfully.
