    Thanks to MS PBI Support we were able to find a solution, which I'd like to share here.

     

    Cause

    The CEF component (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_Embedded_Framework) created this issue

     

    Solution

    1. Uninstall PBI Desktop
    2. Delete the “CEF” folders in %LOCALAPPDATA% i.e. in Windows 7 (replace “USERNAME” with your windows account)
      1. C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local
      2. C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop
    3. Restart Computer (just to be sure)
    4. Install latest version of PBI Desktop

     

    This works for me so far – hope it helps you, too, in case you experience the same issue.

     

    Still thanks to vanessafvg for the ideas and help!

    Thank you - got DAXStudio and cleared cache, but no change

     

    --> what do you mean re the memory? (if below screenshot of the Model.bim Properties helps - says "unload from memory")

      harryhaller how much memory do you have available on the machine you using?  have you checked  your task manager to see if you have enough memory?  check your memory performance.   process of elimination really
