Error in PowerApp visual in PBI report: server does not respond

Hello,

I have several Power BI reports that have PowerApps visuals. They can be opened through the service in an app and all PowerApps visuals work fine.

However, if I try to create a new powerApps visual in a new or existing report in Power BI desktop I get the message "Server does not respond. Refresh the browser". 

What's causing this and how can I fix it?

Best regards.

Hi @VaVi ,

This issue is typically caused by a Power BI Desktop infrastructure glitch or a preview feature conflict. The most effective fix is to restart your computer and ensure the “Power BI Desktop infrastructure update” feature is enabled.

Please give kudos or mark it as solution once confirmed.

 

Thanks and Regards,
