I see that this thread started 3 years ago. Still not allright. I have encountered the 'freeze' issue too many times. 

Would have been nice to know why it is happening. A error message while reopening the recovered file would have helped.

Now for me, this happens for the same field and the same data set and is not when a maneuver is done.

I have multiple slicers on the page. I select one It is fine. I select another, it froze. I saw that it was not random and it was the same value being chosen on the slicer that would freeze Power BI. What could be the issue.

    I had this issue for the first time today, I got around it by clicking the arrow in the top right of the GUI beneath the Close icon (^).

    I clicked this twice, it hides the frozen ribbon then reopens it and upon reopening it was fully functional with all buttons displaying tooltip and the functionality returned.
