Hi Xiaoxin Sheng,

 

PowerBI Desktop (May 2022), although previously using Jan 2022 it crashed also. I can export PowerBI reports with a few pages, this one in particular has 35 pages.

 

It seems to pdf all the pages but then the final part where it puts them all together and open crashes the app. I found the PDF in %AppData% but it won't open due to an error.
