    Hi  nareshr89 ,

     

    Will you meet same issue when you open other pbix files, or only meet it on this file?

     

    As amitchandak mentioned, please check whether disk driver in your VM has enough space. Too small disk space will cause this issue. 

    For reference: Minimum requirements

     

    Please check whether your Power BI Desktop is the latest version. If not, download the latest version by this link and try again. 

     

    You can check system logic for Power BI Desktop by Event Viewer.

    You may refer to this offical blog for troubleshooting.

     

    Best Regards,
    Rico Zhou

nareshr89 , We are using power bi on VM without any problem. How much RAM and Free Hardisk space you have

 

Good to have it - 8 to 16 GB RAM 

and mIn 20 GB of free disk space

 

The size of the power bi file (pbix) should be less than 2 GB, better to have a few MB file. More than 2 GB will slow down system lot

        Thank for the sharing the suggestions. I had updated the Power BI with new version post which the issue didn't appear.
