Power BI desktop running extremely slow

[AmetreosSH]

Last night and this morning I havent been able to work on my Power BI reports. When I open any report, complex or simple, it takes a few minutes to load. If I try to transfrom data it just clocks and never loads. If i click anywhere it give me a not responing message and has crashed. A few hours ago it was better, but now it is doing the same thing again.

I see other users reporting a similar issue. What can I do to fix this issue?

Hi,

According to my research, a similar issue has been reported internally, so stay tuned.

Problem description: When trying to launch Power Bi Desktop, it throws a frown error when the Power BI Desktop infrastructure update preview feature is enabled but if we disable this feature PBI Desktop launches as expected.

As a temporary workaround, I suggest you to go to the setting to turn off the option “Enable infrastructure update preview feature” to make this issue disappear:

I will update here once I get any information.

Thank you very much!

Reloads to dataflows if you have the infrastructure update turned on are extreamly slow, bordering on unsuable, 10++ mins for a reload and high cpu/utilisation.

Turn it off and its done in < 2mins.
