"System.OutOfMemoryException"/Desktop keeps crashing

Every time I open a previously created report in desktop, which was running fine during the same session as it was created (using ~160MB of memory), Power BI desktop's memory usage increases rapidly ...

Hi fletchb,

 

Do you have this issue only for this report or for all reports?

 

Besides, what is your Memory space?

 

If it is convenient, could you please share the log files. It is helpful to turn on tracing and gather log files, to better isolate and identify the issue. To turn on tracing, select File > Options and settings > Options and then select Diagnostics, then check Enable tracing under Diagnostic Options. We realize that Power BI Desktop must be running to set this option, which is more helpful for future issues associated with launching Power BI Desktop.

 

 

Best Regards,

Cherry

Hi Cherry,

 

I seem to have this issue for all reports, or at least all the ones I have tried which all use reports from the same server. Total system memory is 8GB, and total system usage reaches anywhere between 65%-85% before crashing.

 

I'm out of office until Monday so can't share the log files until then unfortunately.
