Cortana stopped working!

Today, all of our computers can no longer access Cortana reports on PowerBI.

 

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? - This is happening across ALL reports (none have been modified).


We are all logged into Cortana via the Accounts page in Windows and all of the reports are set to Q&A with Cortana.

 

Thanks!

    Hi jameslo30,

     

    Can you share some detail contents about your issue? For e.g. desktop version, screenshots...

      I am on Windows 10 Pro Version 1703.

       

      Cortana used to work perfectly for PowerBI results for everyone in my organisation. Last week, Cortana stopped working for PowerBI requests. This happened to everyone.

       

      I used to be able to ask a question to Cortana in respect to multiple PowerBI reports. And it would give me a result back everytime.

       

      I have tried the following:

      Re-publishing Datasets

      Turned Cortana OFF and ON in the app.powerbi.com portal.

      Removed my Office 365 account from Cortana and re-added it again.

       

      I managed to get Cortana to start working with PowerBI ONLY when I add my personal hotmail.com account (which has NOTHING to do with Office 365). This makes no sense what-so-ever. I cannot create a personal Microsoft account for everyone in my organisation, along side their Office 365 accounts.

       

      Why has it stopped working and how can it be fixed?


      Thanks!

        Hi jameslo30,


        I found another user already reported this at CRI 40589981, can you share some trace log about this to help troubleshooting?

        I will upload your trace log to power bi team and give you the feedback.

         

        Operation Steps:

        1. Start a fresh browser session.
        2. Start the Fiddler trace.

        3. Execute the minimal Cortana search, and immediately stop the Fiddler trace.

         

        Trace tool:

        Fiddler - Free Web Debugging Proxy - Telerik

         

        Regards,
