    Thanks for all the help,

    seems like a cybersecurity tool of us blocks the download. This tool does't run in admin context.

Hi LuITS ,

 

This issue sounds like a local authentication or network policy conflict. Since it works from a VM but not your local machine, here are a few things to check:

1. Credential Scope
Go to File > Options and settings > Data source settings in Power BI Desktop. Remove any saved credentials for Power BI Dataflows and try reconnecting. Make sure you're signed in with the correct account.

2. Tenant Restrictions
Some organizations enforce conditional access or tenant restrictions that block access from unmanaged devices. The VM might be domain-joined or compliant, while your local machine isn’t.

3. Firewall or Proxy
Check if your local machine is behind a proxy or firewall that blocks certain Power BI endpoints. You can test this by running Power BI Desktop as admin or from a different network.

4. Power BI Desktop Version
Make sure you're using the latest version of Power BI Desktop. Older builds sometimes have issues with OAuth tokens or service endpoints.

If the issue persists, this Microsoft doc might help:

Let me know if you want to test with a specific workspace or trace the network calls.

      Hi LuITS 

      Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Forum Community.


      burakkaragoz rajendraongole1 Thanks for your inputs.

      Yes, this error looks like an access issue, as you and others have mentioned. It likely occurs because access is being blocked or restricted on your local machine, not in the Power BI service.

      Please check with IT help for any local security policies, network restrictions. Also, review your credentials and ensure you have the necessary access permissions.

      If the issue still persists, feel free to reach out to the community again for further assistance.
      Thanks.
