HI @DCrowther ,
Can you please provide more detail information about these? (e.g. specific characters in your account or domain name,desktop version...)
In addition, you can also use fiddler to trace login in operations to find the blocked requests.

Script Error when trying to login to Desktop PBI
Hi @DCrowther ,
It seems like network related issue so these authorization script initialization failed. Please contact to your IT to confirm network status and firewall block list.
