Hi Folks,
I have reinstalled/restarted Power BI but keep having this same issue where I cannot authorise/login to microsoft via OAuth2 to connect to any microsoft data sources e.g. PBI datasets, Dataverse, sharepoint.
It loads the first pop up but then gets stuck with a spinning loading icon and does not give the second pop up to login/authenticate my account. I am using the latest version of PBI installed from the marketplace.
Has anyone else had this?
Hi @Anonymous ,
Has your problem been solved, if so, please consider Accept a correct reply as the solution or share your own solution to help others find it.

I didn't work out a solution for it, but it seemed to sort itself after a week or so. I cannot pinpoint a fix for it but I feel it is to do with my physical laptop.
Thanks - this still hasn't worked for me, I'm wondering if this is a work security issue? I have reinstalled older versions of PBI and get the same problem.
@Anonymous , If this because of May 2022 update - Log an issue https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/idb-p/Issues.
Make sure these two selected in power bi desktop -> file-> options and settings -> Options
