Help Needed: Power BI and Classroom Management Software Going Haywire!

Hi there,

I'm feeling a bit lost in the tech jungle, and I'm hoping someone can guide me out of this mess. I'm not exactly the tech-savviest person around, so I'd really appreciate some help with this weird problem I'm facing.

Okay, so I've been trying to juggle this whole Power BI thing for some data analysis (or at least attempting to), and I've also got this classroom management software for my teaching gig. But here's the kicker: whenever I try to use both at the same time, my computer seems to have a meltdown.

It's like my computer can't handle the awesomeness of Power BI and the classroom software working together. The screen freezes, my cursor turns into a spinning wheel of doom, and I'm left scratching my head in frustration.

Is there some kind of tech rivalry going on between Power BI and classroom management software? I thought they were supposed to be BFFs for productivity, not enemies causing chaos on my screen.

I've heard a lot of terms like "RAM" and "CPU," but honestly, I'm not sure what they mean in this context. Maybe my computer's brain (or whatever those things are) is just too small to handle both tasks simultaneously?

I've tried the classic turn-it-off-and-on-again trick, but that doesn't seem to be cutting it. Maybe I need to sacrifice a USB drive to the tech gods to make everything work smoothly?

If anyone out there can explain this situation like you're talking to a complete newbie, I'd be super grateful. Seriously, break it down for me like I'm a first-grader trying to understand rocket science.

Hello @yashsharma ,

 

So these terms are related to hardwares in you computer that determine the flow of running apps in your computer, so you probably need to check or upgrade your computer for better performance.
