Hi,
I think I have a performance issue where, if I open a good pbix file and open Power Query Editor the working panel is blank. If I then click on any option with a pop-up that too is blank (as in totally white). This even happens on the exit button, and I then have to guess where the Save > Yes/No buttons are to actually exit.
When this happens all subsequent pbix files also have the same issue, but if I close them and then open a new report and go Options > Data Load > clear cache it seems to help.
Just wondering if anyone else has seen this. Is it memory, display driver, uninstall and re-install... ??
Below image is example where I clicked on Data Source settings.
Hi @ClaytonMUK ,
Please try to reinstall Power BI Desktop and make sure it is the latest version.
Or you can kindly refer to
Power Query editor stays blank

@ClaytonMUK seems like it is a machine-specific issue, never seen this before. Can you test it on another machine?
