Development workload startup failure
Hi AbasahebSargar ,
Ensure local server/services (e.g., IIS, SQL) are running.
Verify base URLs, ports, and connection strings.
Run your development tool as Administrator.
Clear cache/build folders and rebuild the project.
Check logs or debug console for specific error details.
The error message "The development workload startup has failed due to an inactive local server or a configuration issue" typically indicates that a required background service or runtime component needed to support development features—such as a local runtime, gateway, or engine used in tools like Power BI, Fabric Notebooks, or SSAS Tabular models—is either not running or misconfigured. This can occur if the local service (such as the On-premises data gateway or the Analysis Services instance) is not started, has crashed, or is blocked by firewall or permission settings. It can also result from an incorrect configuration file, missing dependencies, or conflicting ports. To resolve this, you should first ensure that the required service is installed and actively running on your machine or server. Additionally, check for configuration settings like server name, port bindings, and authentication methods, especially in environments with strict security or custom networking. Reviewing system logs and event viewers, along with checking service status from Task Manager or Services.msc, can help pinpoint the root cause of the failure.
