Microsoft Mashup Evaluation Container

Hi! I have a problem with Power BI Desktop. I try to use the Power Query Editor and my Notebook is slow. I see the memory usage and it’s a lot. There’s something called “Microsoft Mashup Evaluation Container”

Can somebody help me?

    Hi fidelp27 ,

     

    Microsoft Mashup Evaluation Container are evaluating the preview cache in the background so by the time you click on one of the queries the preview loads immediately.

    Multiple calculations in large dataset will eat up much CPU and memory.

    There is an option to prevent data preview from downloading in the background.

    Best Regards,

    Jay
