Power BI running on "Efficiency Mode" in Windows 11 [JAN 2023]

[nrinaldiFrankly]

I have updated my machine to Windows 11 in 2023 and I have noticed in the new task manager that has been released that Power BI is running in Efficiency Mode, meaning that the process priority is Low. There seems to be something wrong with the "msedgewebview2.exe" process, and when Efficiency Mode is on, the data refresh is extremelly slow.

There is a workaround, and that is right clicking on the process that is running in Efficiency Mode ("WebView2: https://ms-pbi..."), click "Go to details", right click on the selected process under the Details tab, set priority and select Realtime.

Any suggestions on how to solve this permanently? Does anyone know if this is a bug and if it has been reported? I haven't been able to find any documentation about the issue.

Thanks!

Has anyone found a solution to this? With recent updates, I'm now facing this same issue. It is making it extremely frustrating to try to work.

I have the same issue. I tried expanding the process to see if I can disable effeciency mode per process but they are all greayed out - really truckling to refresh large models on Windows 11. I checked with our IT department first and there are no policies in place preventing us from disabling efficiency mode - it's Windows 11 doing it and I can't turn it off

I also am facing same issue, it occured when I installed upgrades provided by microsoft. One process running in efficiency mode. Whe I close this efficiency mode process some time whole teport is getting closed. It is very much annoying my work is getting impacted.

It has mae report very slow it seems.

Any solutions to this issue? Since upgrading Windows 11 with this efficiency mode, I'm unable to refresh any document locally !?

Those document take about 10 seconds to refresh when opened on the web, but on my PC it takes several minutes and then tell me it took too long !? Tried the above work-around, but it's still the same!

We have reports with parameters and one parameter need to be changed to "text" instead of "any" otherwise we can't change it on the web, however publishing doesn't consider the parameter change unless the report is refreshed once on the PC, and it's now impossible to refresh any report !?

Hey @nrinaldiFrankly 

I have found a way to make this work. In the task manager click on the drop down arrow and see all the processes that are running under power bi. It is usually just one process that is running in efficiency mode and causing the problem. Just end this task and then try to refresh the data. It seems to work for me this way.

I am facing the same issue. It is really annoying that there is no way to disable this for power bi. I can seem to disable it for other applications but not for power bi. The data refresh is nightmare!!!
