PowerBI Desktop Crashes
Akahn My guess is that they'll have you go into options and enable tracing, have you crash the desktop and send them the trace file to see why it is doing it. Or you could just do that.
I have my desktop interface frequently crashing and losing work. Sometimes I get out of memory errors or access errors, other times it's not clear why it crashed. I have to apply and save after every query change. which slows my work significantly.
It depends alot on what you're doing, of course--and on what machine (as in how big) and with what memory. As far as the what you're doing: I find when I'm working on a model with a lot of bookmarks (preview) and I'm updating them a lot as I configure the actions I want with pages that have a lot of visuals which I'm making appear and disappear / clear data etc. using buttons with links...well, then stuff happens...with me anyway. But you can tell when things are getting dicey and do a close and reopen.
Anyway, not sure that there's much anyone can help you with unless there's a little more to go on.
