Desktop night operations

Hello,

 

We get two errors every night from Desktop at 04:00 - 04:30.

Errors themselves are not interesting, they are just warnings.

 

But we are interested to know what is Desktop doing on its own every night?

 

Thanks in advance,

Timo Riikonen

Hi TimoRiikonen,

What is warning did you get in desktop? Is update prompting? In addition, did you always open the powerbi  desktop? If you close this when you finish work, will this work? Or you could try to install newest  powerbi  desktop, will this  work?

Best Regards,
Zoe Zhi

Hi,

 

We can't test this with more recent version at the moment.

There is some variation of how many errors we get: 0 - 2 per night. Time varies more than I said. Normally between 02 - 06:30, but there is also one case at 17:59.

We need more testing to see if this comes only when Desktop has been left open or not.

 

Event log error is:

Source: SideBySide, Event id 33, 'Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Desktop RS\bin\ODBC Drivers\Simba Hive ODBC Driver\LibCurl64.DllA\libcurl.dll". Dependent Assembly OpenSSL.DllA,processorArchitecture="*",type="x64",version="1.0.0.4" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.'

But we are not using this driver, so I am not concerned about this.

 

Here is a snapshot of sxstrace:
