I changed some parameters in the PBI file and in the Motherboard BIOS.

Some of the sources in the project had the a "#" in the path, like D:\PBI\#FILES.

The BIOS was configured to be "GAME OPTIMIZED". I Changed this for standart.

After this two modifications all the error messages I got dissapeared.

It's wild to me that this Preview feature is still causing people issues, over a year after it was introduced. Thankfully it's still in Preview, but my fear is that one day a hard-driving PM lets it rip on the millions of users of this product.  It's just that it's a core feature of almost every task in Power BI Desktop.  If there is this much ongoing pain while it is still an opt-in Preview feature, imagine the carnage if it went GA!

While not the "Duke Nukem Forever" of Power BI Desktop Preview features (that honour undoubtably goes to the Shape Map visual), it is moving steadily up the "leader board".

Similar to the above, I chose to restart my laptop before begining the weeks work and saw notice that PowerBi Desktop and another App was still opened. I cancelled the restart to save and close PowerBi especially but received the White Blank Screen with a notice that there's an error with WebView.

Hi everyone.

 

I had the same problem, Power BI desktop (and Edge) were crashing time and time again. This happened just all of the sudden, it had been working perfectly before but now it started crashing and that pop up appeard "There's a problem with WebView2".

Felt like I tried everything but then I realized that I recently installed an Citrix app/client for work and that application were runnning in the background all the time apparently. I uninstalled it and now everything is working just fine again.
