Hi jay-rad ,
Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.
Thank you Ritaf1983 for the Prompt Response.
It looks like the issue is specific to the March 2025 release of Power BI Desktop when running on Parallels/macOS.
I recommend submitting your detailed feedback and ideas through Microsoft's official feedback channels, such as the Fabric Ideas - Microsoft Fabric Community

Super UserHi jay-rad
Unfortunately, Microsoft does not officially support Power BI Desktop on macOS, even when using virtualization tools like Parallels. While it may have worked well for you for over a year, unexpected issues—like the one you're facing now—can arise due to the unsupported setup.
Here are a few things you can try:
-
Reinstall the virtualization tool you're using (Parallels) or consider switching to a fresh setup.
-
Fully uninstall and reinstall Power BI Desktop, not just update it.
-
Try running Power BI Desktop inside a clean Windows VM (e.g., via VirtualBox or directly on a Windows machine if possible).
-
If your colleagues with Windows devices aren't experiencing the issue, it likely confirms the environment (Mac + virtualization) is the root cause.

Helper IThe error still occurs after an install and a fresh install of the April 2025 version when running on Parallels/MacOS
