"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 ...
I was experiencing the same issue and resolved it by increasing the size of the paging file by following these steps:
1. Open file explorer.
2. Right click on "My Computer"/"This PC" and select properties.
3. Select "Advanced System Settings" from left-navigation panel.
4. Click "Advanced" tab.
5. Click "Settings" in "Performance" section.
6. Select "Adjust for best performance" in "Visual Effects" tab.
7. Click "Change" in "Advanced" tab.
8. Uncheck "Automatically manage paging file size"
9. Select the drives (preferably SSD) and under custom size mention the size in multiple of thousands to set the size. I set minimum to 16000 and maximum to 32000
This worked for m.
