Hello, I have noticed the command window popping up and changing my window focus over the past week or so. Thanks to your post, I checked and see that it is SqlDumper.exe for me as well. I tried updating to the latest version of PBI Desktop and still have the issue. It happens when I open the report, change a datatype or decimal place, etc. in the table view, and during some changes to visuals and measures, etc. After a little research, I enabled tracing to see if that would help identify the issue. So far, I have seen messages like these: Exception Message: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host Exception:Microsoft.AnalysisServices.XmlaStreamException ---> Microsoft.AnalysisServices.XmlaStreamException ---> System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. Exception: ExceptionType: System.IO.EndOfStreamException I thought it might be related to my larger model that pulls data from multiple dataflows. I created a new report and pulled in one table from the sample data and it still has the issue. I hope we can find a resolution to this issue soon.
