PowerBI Desktop Crashes

Has anyone else seen an increase in the number of crashes since the September release? I'm also having huge memory spikes when using any of the map visualizations that make Desktop almost unusable. Today I recieved an error on the ESRI visual stating that I needed to clear the storage on my service account, but was using 0% according to the developer tool on service. Thanks in advance.

Hi @WCrayger,

 

What error message did you get when using ESRI visual? And what operation caused such an error in desktop?

 

Based on my research, below two articles describe similar problem and provide relative solution.

Clearing the CEF cache folders seems to have resolved the issue for now. Thanks!
