Power BI Desktop crash - March 2023 Release version 2.115.663.0 (x86)

Hallow everyone,

 

after updating Power BI desktop from version 2.114 (Feb 2023 Release) to the March 2023 version, the app crashed immediately on startup giving an error that an external component has thrown an exception. the application is installed on a windows server 2012 R2, some error details are below.

I thought I would roll back to Dec. 2022 version to see if it works, I unfortunatlly don't have the 2.114 setup file anymore.

 

Please help.

and to add: sometimes Power BI is opening, pretending everything is ok, but will shut itself down when I'm switching to the Power Query. This happens on my desktop and on my laptop aftyer March 2023 update....

This is happening at our company as well, its trickling in as updates push.  This started Wed of last week.

We are having widespread issues with the same errors as described in the original posting. For our org, it started popping up last Wednesday the 15th and has progressively gotten worse. Currently, Power BI desktop will not open at all for many of our users.

I cannot open Power BI Desktop either. I had no issues last week.

Hi there! 

 

I am experiencing the same issue as well. I have Power BI version 2.115.663.0. It is affecting my entire team.

Multiple people in my organization are also impacted by this issue.

Yep, same issue here, application just closing after a few minutes.   Had to go back to the Feb '23 version which seems to be ok... 🤞

 

I like the way this has been raised in multiple different threads, all with a copy and paste response from Community Support saying that it must be an issue specificly on the OP's side as they've not seen it raised anywhere else 🙄.
