PowerBI Desktop Query Refresh Popup Not showing up
Since today morning, whenever i right click a table in the data pane and click on "Refresh Data", the window that usually pops up (with creating connections, number of rows loaded and errors etc) is not coming up. After a while it looks like the table is refreshed, but only when i hover the mouse over it.
Any help on how to get the popup back pls?

same issue here. Started happening to me yesterday afternoon after my PBI Auto-updated to the June release.
Aside from no refresh popup, there have been a couple of times where trying to only refresh one table has caused all of my visuals to go blank.Same issue clicked the refresh, and nothing popped up. The data does not event get refreshed.
I noticed this in my models yesterday, however I have found when opening one of my desktop models for the first time it will refresh only using the refresh option on the home ribbon, but not right clicking on a data table. However, refresh pop-up doesnt appear a second time. I have also found when trying to refresh say a second time and no pop-ups show, my laptop is whirring away suggesting something is happening in the background and as mentioned above if you hover over one of the tables it shows it having refreshed. However, I’m reluctant to believe this as some large tables shows a refresh too quickly.
On top of this I have also noticed since yesterday my models will sometimes freeze and I have to manually force them to close.
Again, my only workaround is as mentioned above, refreshing when first opening via the home ribbon, then closing and opening again, this is not practical when I’m working on large models with big data sets.Same problem.
Fine for smaller tables that refresh in 5 minutes or less, but for tables that take 2 or 3 hours to refresh and never know when it finishes, you cannot close the file and at least I haven't seen an error message if something fails.
A "work-around" I have found is to edit query and change the order of a column or a minor change that doesn't affect the data, Close&Apply, and you get the pop-up.
Hi, AiyooDa and everyone here
Regarding the issue of upgrading to the June version and not being able to refresh a single table, Version 2.130.930.0, which is the June 17th update, fixes this issue. You can upgrade PBI Desktop to this version.

Same case experienced earlier today 8.00 AM Central Euro Time.
I am on Version: 2.130.754.0 64-bit (June 2024)
The refresh is actually performed, but there is no visual context menu to inform on its progress.
The refreshed data somehow appears when you hover your mouse on the table.Anyway to reverse it? Show the popup?
reinstall 2.129.1229.0 and wait for Microsoft to issue a fix.
The interesting thing is that this might actually be a desired behavior - the ability to continue to use a report while the refresh is in progress, instead of having to stare at the modal window.But I can see how this can be confusing to a developer. Maybe an indicator in the top bar that a refresh is in progress so the dev is not surprised when the data changes.
Did you guys find anything on this problem?
It is really frustrating
Hi Bertu -As suggested by lbendlin reinstall 2.129.1229.0 and wait for Microsoft to issue a fix or

Appreciate your Kudos!!I'm not happy it's happening to you - but I also am ... I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why this is happening and my Google searches + Chat GPT queries have produced ZERO examples of this happening before -- but as of 6 hours ago, this post exists.
Seems it's related to the "update"... Good lord I hope they fix it soon - this is VERY frustrating.
Thank you for asking this question! I am experiencing the same issue and it is definitely frustrating. While it is nice to have the option to work while refreshing I'd sacrifice that to know where I stand with regard to refresh progress/status/success.
Hello!, the same thing happens to me here, it is difficult to know if the information is really being updated, although I have checked in tables that have the upload date field that it is updated.
Hopefully there's more information on this, or if there's a way to set the window to appear.
I've opened an issue and it was accepted from microsoft support.
