This was not a problem earlier and may seem to have appeared with the latest Power BI Desktop version.
After pressing "Sign-in" no sign-in window opens and everything hangs.
I can get control back by pressing Alt+F4 (close window). Then I get this message:
I tried to see what goes on in Task Manager while the sign in hangs. Power BI seems to try to open several Microsoft Webview 2 windows(2), May introduction of Webview 2 in Power BI be causing this?

Hi @Vi12
From July 2021 , infrastructure of Power BI Desktop started to be transitioned from using CefSharp to WebView2. According to official document Enabling Microsoft Edge (Chromium) for OAuth authentication in Power BI Desktop | Microsoft Docs, as of October of 2021, Power BI Desktop will use Microsoft Edge WebView2 for OAuth authentication for all connectors by default. When this happens, it is fully required to run Power BI Desktop. If it’s not already installed, please try to install the new Edge(Chromium) browser from https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/download or install the WebView2 redist package on your Power BI Desktop machine and then try your operation again.
