    Dear amitchandak:

    Thank you for your reply.

    I tried your method: to use my default browser, but the result is the same :"the browser exited unexpectally".

    Hi  XUXiping ,

    Thank you for reaching out to us with your problem. I understand that you're encountering an issue where the web browser exits unexpectedly when you connect to web in Power BI Desktop. Please try the following steps and check if that can solve the problem:

    • Update Web Connector: Power BI uses the Web.BrowserContents function for retrieving web content that needs to be accessed through a browser. This function was initially built on Chromium, but it’s being migrated to Microsoft Edge’s WebView2 control. To enable the updated Edge-based version of Web.BrowserContents in Power BI Desktop, enable the “Web page connector infrastructure update” preview feature. Refer this official documentation to make troubleshooting

    If the above ones can't solve the problem, could you please provide the following info?

    • Can that web url be accessible via the Internet?
    • Whether it can load the data successfully when connect to other web url in Power BI Desktop?

    Best Regards

      I updated to the latest vesion and clear cache, but still can't get data from web, the same error "The web browser exited unexpectedly" occur.
      I can visit this website via Microsoft Edge, but I can't visit any web url from "get data from web" .  I appreciate your help
