(Azure) Databricks Connector - Attempted to read or write protected memory

Hi,

 

Since yesterday I cannot connect anymore to Databricks (both connection types) on my PBI desktop.

I have the November version and get following error:


PowerBINonFatalError:
{"AppName":"PBIDesktop","AppVersion":"2.123.742.0","ModuleName":"","Component":"Microsoft.Mashup.Evaluator.EvaluationHost","Error":"Microsoft.Mashup.Client.UI.Shared.ExceptionResultException","MethodDef":"OnException","ErrorOffset":"","ErrorCode":""}

 

ExceptionResultMessage:
Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

 

I have re-installed the desktop app 2 times already, but no dice. A colleague of mine has the same installation as me and he does not have the issue. 

 

I'm fearing at this point that I'll have to re-install my pc. 

Anyone has something similar? I read about some people with ODBC issues reporting the same error and I think underlying Databricks is based on a Simba ODBC connection, but did not find a resolve...

 

Thanks
