Chord Visual in Report Server May 2020 is not working

[spathak04]

Hello,

I upgrade report server version to May 2020. My existing Chord visual stopped working. 
When I opened my report in designer mode, it asked my to sign in multiple times but failed to sign in.  I don't know how to fix this?

Hi

Not sure if this a fix or not but MS has sneaked an update to the May 2020 Desktop release yesterday 09/06/2020:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=56722

This took the desktop version number form 2.81..5831.941 to 2.81.5831.1181.

Might be worth a try.  Why MS never communicate these things is beyond me...

Yes, this does appear to fix this sign-in bug for me. All the custom visuals we use are rendering fine without being signed in (I have one big demo report that includes all the visuals we use)

This appears to be a bug in the May 2020 version of desktop for PBIRS. The only work arounds I'm aware of are to either

1. sign in
2. uninstall and go back to the Jan 2020 release.  
3. wait for a hotfix from Microsoft
