Unable to close 'message box' after loading data/refresh

Hello, 

 

Since a couple of days I have a issue in the Power BI Desktop environment when refreshing/loading my data. After the data is loaded the message 'The load is completed' appears but I am not able to close the message box. The cancel- button does not respond and the 'Ok'- button which is normally used to close this box is missing.

Does anybody know what the problem may be? P.s. I am not able to delete and reinstall Power BI because I am working from my company computer. 

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @DionKent 

If the OK button appears after waiting for a few minutes, it may be because the program is stuck. Otherwise, please click the "annuleren" button and then click refresh data again, and then check whether the OK button will appear after this refresh.

Unfortunately the 'Ok' button does not appear after a few minutes. In addition I am not able to click the 'Annuleren'/Cancel button, it does not respond

Hi @DionKent 

Thanks for your reply.

I missed the message prompt, does the problem still exist?

The problem still exists. I am afraid that my Power BI- file became too complex with a lot of transformations and got issues because of that. 

 

So working on a less 'complex' version now.

@DionKent , If that Cross button is not helping. Check is there any windows update is pending. A few days back I have windows update pending and it was not opening my power bi from the folder. I have open after I open Power bi and then open a power bi file using file -> open 

 

So I doubt the pending windows update. If possible try to be on latest version of power bi
