I am experiencing the exact same issues.  I have tried everything.  Even found this in the article https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/connectors/quickbooksonline with new troubleshooting at the bottom

Enabling OAuth Authentication in Power BI Desktop

Starting in December 2021 Power BI Desktop:

  • Install the new Edge Chromium browser, (at least beta) from https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download.
  • In your Environment Variables, set the System variable PQ_EnableEdgeChromiumOAuth to true . Once that is set it will use Edge Chromium for only QuickBooksOnline. For this release, only QuickBooksOnline is enabled by default.
  • You should now be able to log in to QuickBooks Online.

 

I did try to set my system variables but still getting the same errors.    Anyone have any further information on this issue.  Microsoft support provided this information but I found it of no value

Having the same issue, where exactly are the system variables changed to mark PQ_EnableEdgeChromiumOAuth as true?  Thank you.

    I changed them (I assume this is correct) by right clicking windows start, click settings, then type in environment and it will pull up "Edit System Environment Variables" then on Advanced tab click Environment Variables and from there you will need to add it....

    But I'm still getting the same error after adding this to the Environment Variable.
