Power BI Refresh UI Not Showing Properly During Data Refresh

[LB_Team]

Hi, 
I am facing an issue with Power BI Desktop where the refresh UI is not showing properly while refreshing my dashboard. Sometimes, I need to restart my laptop 2 to 3 times for the refresh UI to appear. I've tried updating Power BI, clearing the cache, and running it as an administrator, but the issue persists.
I’ve attached a screenshot of the issue for reference.
Could someone please suggest a solution?

Hi @LB_Team 

It sounds like your issue might be related to either data source connectivity or system performance. If your report is using DirectQuery, the refresh UI might not appear properly due to slow query execution or connection instability. Try checking your data source connection and testing with Import mode to see if the issue persists.

Another possibility is that your laptop is running low on memory, which could cause UI elements to lag or not render correctly. You can monitor system resource usage using Task Manager while refreshing Power BI to see if memory or CPU usage spikes.

If neither of these seems to be the cause, I recommend opening a support ticket with Microsoft to investigate further.

This looks like a bug to me. I haven't encountered this myself. I'm still using the January version.
