@zhanglei,

I am unable to reproduce the issue on my side. What changes do you make in the Power BI Desktop file? Would you mind sharing me the PBIX file so that I can test?

Lydia

Hi Lydia,

 

Thank you for reply. As I am doing stuff for client containing confidential data, I may not produce the source file to you. But if I leave the desktop for about 30 min without saving, once I click "Save", the error will appear.

 

You can also refer to this post http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Unexpected-Network-Error-When-Saving/td-p/250905

I think it is rather common issue after September release. When I was using July and August version, this issue never happened.
