Stuck in Creating Connection in model

Start from recently, my power bi has problem in always stuck in creating connection in model while trying to connec sql server. Even when I create a new file with import data without any other operation, I will be stuck when I try to save or apply changes. I have tried all the disable setting thing in Data Load but cannot make it work.

Can any one help? Thanks!
