Power BI Desktop freezes when saving

Submitted by Advocate I on ‎03-12-2025 07:46 AM

Hello,

Starting today, Power BI Desktop freezes every time I try to save. 

This happend to me and at least one other colleague.

The freezing does not prevent the saving itself so far, but I need to restart Power BI Desktop after each time I save my Report.

 

Has anyone had a similar issue so far or any suggestion to resolve it?

@afkm I tried this workaround but to no avail. Should I mention I'm not using Query Editor in the first place? Not sure why I should have to close it if I've not even opened it to begin with. But anyways - I did try this sequence and it freezes at Working on it, unconditionally. Super frustrating

@vanessagg its frustrating radio silence from Microsoft on this issue. Others in the thread are saying to try a specific workaround - but I've had no success with it. Not sure what recourse we even have here? Like - what next steps can we even take if Microsoft chooses to continue ignoring this?

I am having exactly the same problem, happening since install of the latest version: 2.140.1577.0 64-bit (February 2025)

Hi - I have this issue too. I had to re-install the Jan 2025 version. The March version did not fix the issue for me. You can find the link for the Microsoft Jan 2025 version in this article - https://www.sqlbi.com/blog/marco/2025/03/06/dialog-boxes-in-custom-visuals-are-broken-in-power-bi-de....

@pjs2004 Thank you for the link to January 2025 version -- I could not locate this ANYWHERE. I'll try rolling back to this version and see if it helps.

Hi all, Nothing heard from Microsoft so far on this Issue. Im kind of impressed how widespread this issue is. On our side it can be observed company wide (unless rolled back to January). I would let you all know, if I hear anything new outside this post.
