I have upgraded to Version: 1.9.7675.15620 (Build 15.0.1104.300), Released: January 8, 2021 and still have the same issue with reports not refreshing. So far, only reports originally created or edited with the preview feature enabled are affected. 

 

My only workaround has been to repeat hours of work re-creating reports or re-editing recovered AppData reports again with the preview feature disabled. Simply resaving the report or making new edits to the original report won't fix this if the report was ever saved with the preview feature on. It's basically a burned file at that point. 

 

I love PowerBI, but this  release has been an epic failure wasting too much of my time.

    Hi,

    I agree. The October version has left such an impact with the Power BI report server customers, that we have to think twice before accepting the next release. In regards to your issue, I have been doing the same thing. But for me, I copy paste the advanced editor query for each data source, make the connections and then copy paste the visuals. This has reduced quite some time on my hands from redoing everything from scratch. But then again, didn't expect to go through this trouble at all when I had updated to October version.

     

    Thanks.

    Our situation is the same johnson_j.  

    Still having issues with the October 2020 'Preview feature" problem

    1) we have confirmed that if the feature is never enabled for a report, it all works.
    2) but once enabled, it cannot be "un-enabled" - This is the real Problem!

    What we have done:

    1) re-installed the latest Power BI Desktop ( optimiated for Power BI Report Server - october 2020)
    which is, as of Jan 26, 2021: Version: 2.86.1321.0 Date Published:11/18/2020, just to ensure we have the latest Desktop version

    2) Installed the latest Power BI Report Server; Version: 15.0.1104.300 Date Published: 1/7/2021
