I am using Power BI Desktop Version: 2.51.4885.543 64-bit (October 2017)

The problem is identical. Switching back and forth between pages of the same report raises the memory used by CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess.exe until it slow down and eventually crashes because it runs out of memory.

marcorusso Thank you for the details.

Could you please clarify amount of custom visuals on each page?

    Hi Ignat,

     

    I tried my report in PowerBI Desktop, Version: 2.51.4885.543 64-bit (October 2017).

     

    One of the tabs in my report has about 55 "card with states" and 2 "chiclet slicers" custom visuals. The other tab has about 10 custom visuals (some guages and chiclet slicers).

     

    When I switch between these tabs for about 6 times, I noticed that unlike before, now the memory increased only by 3% (between the 2nd and the 6th time), which is much more stable than the before.

     

    For me, it seems that this fix will resolve the problem, once it is rolled out on to the powerbi.com service. I still face the memory leak issue when using the report from powerbi.com

     

    Regards,
