High RAM consumption

[bebeto]

Hi,

I have a pbis that weights 8MB and, when I open it with Power BI Desktop, my CPU RAM rises to 800 MB and suddenly the application closes without showing any error messages.

What is the problem?

Thanks!

Hi @bebeto,

Please try to disable the option
allow data preview to download in the background
and check if this issue persists or not.

Here is a blog which describes this option. Please refer to the link below.
