SQLDUMPER.EXE BlackWindow Closes Power BI
Hi miguegallop,
This issue has been submitted and accepted as an issue which should be addressed in the January update.
As a work around try using the "Manage relationships" dialog to edit or create relationships - this has worked for me an does not crash Power BI if an invalid relationship is attempted.
See the thread here:
For me this happens when I attempt to publish to the Service (using January update).
Same here, with the January release. It happens when I publish a report while not signed in. It then prompts to sign in, and when authentication completes, it closes with SQLDUMPER. Making sure that I'm signed in before publishing (or even before saving the report locally) seems to avoid it.
I didn't encounter this in the December release, but I can't recall having been signed out in the past.
This has happened to me in the past if a field that I was using in a relationship contained any .NULL. content.
When it just reappeared in the JAN 18 update on data that was previously OK, I was most concerned and investigated my relationships again.
Simply doing this and refreshing the entire dataset has effectively cured this issue for me.
If you are in a bind I suggest you try this and maybe eport your findings for others.

I am logged in even I have refreshed my datasets but still this sqldumper.exe is popping and closing the report itself. Its happening if I am trying to build relationship between specific 2 tables
Kindly help
It's happening to me, too. It happens numerous times a day. It's getting a bit obnoxious!!
Yep same here, even with the latest Jan update.
Same for me - in January 2018 release on W10
Has there been any further update on when a fix will be released?
We are expecting a fix to be released in the March version. This issue should only happen when you leave Power BI desktop open for more than 45 minutes. The 2 current workarounds:
1. Before publishing the report, save the report, sign out and sign back in (you can do this by clicking on your name in the upper right corner, choose "Switch account", then re-enter your credentials.
2. Close and re-open Power BI before publishing.
Hello all,
we had same issue for two computers. For the rest of PCs it was ok.
What worked for us was to firstly run Power BI as Run as administrator - then no crash of Power BI occured even after we closed and reopen application again without admin privilegies.
Power BI Version: 2.55.5010.641 64-bit (február 2018)

Can somebody tell me how I close my exisiting account and register a new one?
Today is 1/16/2020. I still see this black window/crash even today trying to create a new account.
The suggested workaround does not work for me. The Manage Relationships link in the tool bar is greyed out.
