Hi @MarcusValerius ,
Have you tried the methods offered by @lbendlin ? Did it work?

Use 64 bit Office
Don't use xlsb - use xlsx.
I'm experiencing the same thing as @MarcusValerius on Version 2405 64-bit with a .xlsx file
UPDATE: I just downloaded and installed Version 2407 64-bit from my Microsoft Account site, and it worked (Power Query Refresh) without crashing.
