Date-Based Visuals Fail to Load on Power BI (x64) via Parallels 20 on Apple M4 Pro

[algrumsendev]

Hi everyone,

We're currently running the latest version of Power BI (x64) on Windows 11 ARM, using Parallels 20 on an Apple M4 Pro Mac.

I was recently assigned to work on a Power BI dashboard that works flawlessly (10/10 times) on my colleague's standard Windows machine. The data loads fine and refreshes without any errors on both systems.

However, we noticed a critical issue:
Any visual that includes a Date field filter fails to load on my ARM-based setup. No meaningful error message is shown upon clicking the detailed error (empty line, char indicator) — the visual simply doesn't render, but does upon removing the date releated filter.

We attempted to:

• Recreated the visuals and relationships

• Adjusted regional and locale settings

• Confirmed the dataset integrity and formatting

• Tested across different Date fields and visuals

We're now suspecting that this issue is related to ARM architecture compatibility, possibly with how Power BI handles datetime rendering or underlying libraries.

Has anyone else experienced this issue on Apple Silicon M4 with Parallels or any other ARM-based setup?

Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Still the same problem: Apple M4 Pro - 15.5 (24F74) Parallels Desktop 20 20.4.0 (55980) Windows 11 Pro 26100.4652 Power BI Desktop Version: 2.145.1105.0 64-bit (July 2025) 32 bit version is not a solution because it is much too tedious to work with, plus further development ends this month Downgrading is also not an option, as reports from versions newer than February 2025 were processed and cannot be opened with the old version now

Hi everyone, looks like a resolution is now available for the ARM64 Power BI issues. Windows update 25H2 is set for release at the end of this month or sometime next month which includes instruction set support for AVC, AVX2, FMA, XSAVE, OSXSAVE and RDRAND in Prism (https://rog-forum.asus.com/t5/rampage-vi-strix-x299-series/windows-11-25h2-canary-edition-27744-1000...). I'm not sure what Power BI is relying on, but I am reasonably confident that something here resolves the outstanding issues with Power BI and ARM64 devices. I have just installed 25H2 as part of the Release Preview channel in Windows Update. This is what is set to be enabled for everybody during the patch release at end of month (https://www.windowslatest.com/2025/09/08/microsoft-begins-preparing-windows-11-25h2-installation-med...), so I believe it's relatively safe to install now as opposed to the Canary Channel which I have tested with previously. Providing your organisation allows you to switch programmes, which most orgs won't. I installed Power BI Desktop 2.147.931.0 x64 (September 2025) from the Microsoft Store and everything appears to be working. My reports that rely on local data sources and date-based visuals are all loading fine without error. For everyone else that can't join the Release Preview channel, hang in there! It should be resolved for you soon.
