PBI Desktop - Windows Server - loops in loading to model..

[HG-C]

I want to use the Power BI Desktop app in Windows Server but after doing:

Get Data > choosing the source > showing the rows and columns > clicking Load 

it shows a loading window with Loading Data to Model... without completing

it doesn't do any change in the app and the data was not added & still shows loading

I tried different data sources even the provided sample was not imported

also tried in:

Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016, and 2019 versions, just worked in Windows 10, not loading the data to the model in Windows Server.

Thanks.

@HG-C 

as per Power BI doc it can be installed on windows server but not recommended. 

Minimum requirements

The following list provides the minimum requirements to run Power BI Desktop:

 Important

Power BI Desktop is no longer supported on Windows 7.

• Windows 8.1 / Windows Server 2012 R2, or later
• .NET 4.6.2 or later
• Internet Explorer 11 or later
• Memory (RAM): At least 2 GB available, 4 GB or more recommended.
• Display: At least 1440x900 or 1600x900 (16:9) required. Lower resolutions such as 1024x768 or 1280x800 aren't supported, as certain controls (such as closing the startup screen) display beyond those resolutions.
• Windows display settings: If you set your display settings to change the size of text, apps, and other items to more than 100%, you may not be able to see certain dialogs that you must interact with to continue using Power BI Desktop. If you encounter this issue, check your display settings in Windows by going to Settings > System > Display, and use the slider to return display settings to 100%.
• CPU: 1 gigahertz (GHz) 64-bit (x64) processor or better recommended.

 Note

We recommend using a client version of Windows such as Windows 10, rather than Windows Server. For example, Power BI Desktop does not support using Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration as it will stop Power BI Desktop from signing in to the Power BI service.
