    This is happening to me, too, on PowerBI Desktop version 2.58.5103.501 64-bit (May 2018). A workaround that works for me is to minimize the ribbon and then expand the ribbon again. You can do this by toggling the option shown in the following screenshot:

This happens frequently to me as well. Usually after I work in Power Query then apply changes. As mentioned in earlier comments, the quick access save button above the ribbon works but I still get scared everytime.

 

I check back to this thread every now and then hoping for a solution. Happily, I did try to re-size the window as mentioned earlier and that did work for me this time.  Don't know how consistent this workaround will be.

 

Hope we get a real solution at some point. It really sucks to sit and not be able to do anything for 5+ minutes while I wait for the ribbon to come back.

 

This thread should not be marked as solved!!

    Try this as a workaround:

    - doubleclick on for example the "Home"-Menu -> Ribbon Menu minimizes

    - doubleclick again the "Home"-Menu -> Ribbon Menu maximizes

     

    This works for me...
