    Clear your Power BI credentials from Windows Credential Manager and sign in again. This usually fixes the recurring logout issue.

    Check with your university IT if Power BI access is officially supported
    Keep Power BI Desktop updated
    Log in first at app.powerbi.com before opening Desktop
    Try disabling “Use my default browser for web login” in Desktop settings

  • Hi Onkarr, since you are using a university account, there is a possibility that your IT admin has set a 1-hour signout policy. You can ask them to increase the timeout limit. 

     

     Since this process will take time, in the meantime, you can continue your development in Power BI Desktop with a personal account or without a user account. 

     

    Thanks
