Personal Gateway suddenly stopped working

Hi,

 

I had my Personal Gateway installed and working properly, my scheduled refreshes were working great as well, and all of the sudden today I get the message of:

 

GWConf has stopped working

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

 

Nothing has changed with my computer, I hadn't tried to reinstall (I noticed when searching articles that somebody had the issue when reinstalling)...nothing really, just this morning it wouldn't run.

 

Any hints will be greatly appreciated.

 

Have a great day!

 

Brenda

    I'm good as well, did nothing to fix it but it's working now.

    I have the exact same issue. If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it as well. It worked yesterday. When I came into work today it wasn't working I didn't change anything.

      brendaivettmarcush,
      Thanks for posting. Mine stopped working yesterday (03/09/2017) as well. I think it stopped shortly after updating to the newest version of Power BI Desktop, but can't be quite sure. 

       

      I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the personal gateway, and that didn't help. I can't find any solution online either. Very frustrating.

      stayup_artist,

       

      Thanks for the info.

       

      After several attempts this morning (03/13/2017), I seem to be up and running. The "Please wait while we check a few more things screen" took longer than usual to process. 

       

      I appreciate everyone's responses.

        Hi all,

         

        Are you able to start the personal gateway now? Is the issue gone?

         

        Best Regards,
