Hi, I have faced 2 times the same memory issue on PowerBI Desktop (downloaded Agst 2016), using rank with DAX functions. I feel that PowerBI doens't have a proper memory control in certain situations. It caused that the entire machine failed and stop working, even the right click on the task manager doesn't work. The only solution is to restart the machine using the power button.

I am facing the same with the latest update, as of today.  I haven't see behavior like this since the PICK OS days of the late 1970's, where the machine litterly "blows up", stops processing and disconnects from a remote session.  This is serious flaw stuff.  The software as working fine a few weeks ago.  Our environment is VM, 2012 Standard, with 16gb memory. Does anyone out there in cyberspace have a "fix" ?  

 

Can we roll back to an earlier verion.  My appology for asking what might be in the knowledge base but we have only been testing this software for a couple of weeks now.

 

Thanks in advance.
