System.OutOfMemoryException while opening a report
Hi,
I am facing the System.OutOfMemoryException error while trying to access a report in power BI desktop.
This report worked fine till last week, but started posing this problem since yesterday.
From then on I am unable to get the report to open and work on it.
I tried making the neccessary changes in power BI service and then download the .pbix file and open the report, but with no luck.
I tried reinstalling my 64-bit power BI desktop. I tried clearing temp files. But none of them seem to have any effect.
Can anyone please help me resolve this issue?
Many thanks in advance.

HiAnonymous,
Does the issue happen when opening a specific report in Power BI desktop or all reports?
Which steps do you take then cause the issue ?
Please update Power BI desktop to the latest version February 2021 Update (2.90.303.0) then test again. When you run the Power BI desktop, please check the memory usage in Task Manager.
Hope it helps.
Best Regards,
Caitlyn Yan
