Intermittent Unable to Sign in Error

I have inttermittant error logging into my Power BI desktop client.

The only way to get around it that I have found is to re-start my laptop, which isn't always practical as I usuallu have several windows open at the same time.

Can someone please let me know how to get around this without having to restart?

Thanks 

Jeff

@Anonymous ,

 

Have you configured any proxy server in your system? If you have, close the proxy and try again.

I haven't, but our laptops are pretty locked down by the IT team.

Surely if this has been set, it would permanently affect Power BI?

@Anonymous I never seen this issue, it seems like something to do with your network but interesting thing is that it works after you reboot. Is there any vpn or other application you run which stops  login.

I don't think so.

It will work fine for a while, opening new windows without any issue, then suddenly any new window I open won't log in.

This then continues until I reboot.
