Power BI desktop Hang - Not responding
Hi DataSpace ,
1.Try clearing the cache by deleting the files in the following path:
C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\Cache2.Try opening other .pbix files to check if the same problem exists. If not, backup the file and then recovered file.
Hope it helps!

I have deleted all the files from mentioned path, also uninstalled and re-installed PBI Desktop.
'Recovered File' message disappeared. And I am able to 'Apply changes'. Also able to refresh.
But problem still exists-- When I try to save file, it goes forever on "Working On it" mode.
I have to kill the process all the time to restart.
This is happening with all the existing files where source is Sharepoint folder (with excel files on it). other pbix are fine.
I am now thinking to develop my report from scratch, not sure if new report also will have same problem.
Meanwhile if any of you still have any solution/suggestion , please do let me know.
Hi DataSpace ,
Try to clean up the credentials for the sharepoint source.

Community Support Team_ Scott ChangI have tried signing out from one work id and successful login using other work id.
But issue still persists.
I have sent pbix to my colleague and they are able to open, change and save the file successfully.
Not sure if this is specific issue with my machine... but I have restarted machine many times and I have uninstalled and re-installed Power BI as well.
Any other clue please ?
Hi DataSpace ,
Perhaps you could try connecting using the web connector to bypass the sharepoint folder.
