Feedback Type:
Frown (Error)

Error Message:
Unable to cast to Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Core.Raw.ICoreWebView2Settings3.
This may happen if you are using an interface not supported by the version of the WebView2 Runtime you are using.
For instance, if you are using an experimental interface from an older SDK that has been modified or removed in a newer runtime.
Or, if you are using a public interface from a newer SDK that wasn't implemented in an older runtime.

Hi, @dreamchaser 

Make sure you're using the latest version of Power BI Desktop. Power BI is regularly updated with patches and improvements, and updating to the latest version can address compatibility issues.

If your network uses a proxy server or firewall, you might be blocking web requests made by Power BI Desktop. Make sure to add the following domains to the allow list of proxy server or firewall settings.

Also, as Greg_Deckler mentioned, make sure you have the latest version of the Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime installed on your system, you can check out the link:

My guess would be that you need to update your WebView2: Microsoft Edge WebView2 | Microsoft Edge Developer
