Enterprise Gateway Oct, 2023 Release 3000.194.16 - MAJOR BUG

[TrickMasterPC]

Do not install the Oct, 2023 Power BI Enterprise Gateway release version 3000.194.16 (exe dated Nov 1). You cannot sign into the gateway. It returns a network error has occurred. Stick with the September 2023 release version 3000.190.19. It does not have this problem. I spent hours and validated that the bug is reproducible. The November version also corrupted the NT SERVICE\PBIEgwService user account and when you try to restore your gateway it gives you an error stating that the user profile is a temporary profile and you cannot restore your gateway. To solve for this, install the Sept 2023 version and for the "On-premises data gateway service" under services.msc you must change the user "Log On As" to another account such as administrator.

Go microsoft for releasing super buggy software. I just wasted 6-hours of my day on this...
