My Performance Analyser is showing blank screen and doesn't work even after stop or refresh.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @peterpure ,
I tested this myself, and Performance Analyzer is working as expected. I can see timings for visuals like DAX query and visual display.
If you’re still seeing a blank screen, here are a few things to check.
1. Ensure you’re on a page with visible visuals; hidden or empty visuals won’t appear in the log.
2. After clicking Start recording, try refreshing visuals or interacting with slicers, filters, or changing column order as @FBergamaschi suggested to trigger an update.
3. If your report uses a Live Connection , Performance Analyzer won’t show timings it only works with Import mode.
4. Restarting Power BI Desktop can also resolve some issues.
Thanks to @FBergamaschi , @wardy912 for the helpful suggestions about checking visual interactions and restarting Power BI Desktop.
Regards,
Yugandhar.

Have you tried to close and reopen Power BI Desktop? I assume you have visuals in the page on which you are

Hi @peterpure
Have you interacted with any of you visuals?
Try changing the order of a column or using a slicer.
