Power BI Desktop just "hangs" with spinning icons for ~5mins while refreshing. Here is a screenshot showing the load.

It started happening after this latest version from yesterday evening.

 

I've tried re-installing the application and a clean reboot and still seeing this behavior.

If you go to the Task Manager, how many Microsoft.Mashup.Container*.exe can you find there, and are any of them busy?

Have you tried to disable relationship detection in the settings dialog?
