Power BI: Sign up windows spams (free desktop user) - excel

First all first, I am free Power BI desktop user, so I am not Signed in and don't have an account in Power BI.
Since last Update I encountered an issue, and that is spamming with Sign in window anytime I am trying to use some templates that I downloaded from internet. I NEVER had this issue before, I could open all the templates (pbix files) without any trouble, but not since I open I am constantly getting Sign in window and can't get rid of it actually. So, I must terminate app to close it.
I tried to reinstall, to fix it, but problem is still there. Do anyone got an idea what could be a problem? Is Microsoft "blocked" usage of custom visuals for free users or something?

After UPDATE for June 2020, problem solved automatically!
Thanks to Microsoft =)

Error message when trying to run OneDrive.exe

I'm running Windows 10 and I have Office 365. It's my personal PC, not using Active Directory.
When I'm trying to use OneDrive and when I open it, I get this error:
We cannot synchronize your documents anymore
I tried sfc /scannow, ccleaner and others tricks. No change at all.
I'm thinking it's due to Office 365 connected to my OneDrive PRO.
Anyone have any information about this issue?
I read the microsoft forum and many people face the same issue.One of the solution I came across is:
Hey everyone. I just found what might be the solution in another discussion thread on this same forum. It is suggested to Uninstall the new OneDrive for Business. You should see it in your Programs and Features control panel.
Here is the link for further info

SSRS DataSource Windows Authentication fails

I have a project which uses SharePoint lists as data sources to create the reports. I'm using Visual Studio 2013 for this.
I have this real annoying issue at this moment, ie. when I want to edit a dataset I created a while ago and I press 'Query Designer...' in the dataset properties to see all fields from my list I get an error which says that I am unauthorized.
My DataSource is configured to link to the SharePoint Site Url with Windows Credentials. I have also tried this out for multiple datasets on multiple reports but the error is everywhere.
Because of this I'm also not able to run my reports. They just say "An error occurred during local report processing.".
I have been working on this project since March and this is the first time this has occurred so I have no idea what might have gone wrong nor how to solve it.
Does anyone know what might cause this error and how to solve it please?
If you have any questions or remarks about my question/problem, please, don't hesitate to leave a comment.
Kind regards
EDIT 1:
I have just tried deploying a report that I finished last week and for the first time I got a prompt that asked for my credentials. I haven't even put my credentials anywhere in the project for past authorisation so I have no idea why the project would suddenly need it now...
EDIT 2:
I have just tried changing the DataSource credentials to my own login for the SharePoint Site. If I run the report I get the same error as before but when I go to Query Designer for one of the datasets I get following error:
EDIT 3:
I just restored a back-up I made a couple of weeks ago. I can now run my reports but I still get the Unauthorized error when I try to open a dataset's query designer and the prompt for my credentials when I try to deploy a report.
So, the solution has been found!
Apparently something has gone wrong with my PC and I had to reconfigure my user accounts.
To do this go to Control Panel -> User Accounts
Then click on 'Manage User Accounts'. Go to the 'Advanced' tab and click on 'Manage Passwords'
Next, go to 'Windows Credentials' and change the credentials for your site or recreate them.

Azure - Creation of web site 'null' failed

I finally decided to give Azure a try and the first thing I do - creating a simple web site - fails with: Creation of web site 'null' failed. Details say: Provisioning failed.
I am simply trying to "quick create" a simple website. Researching the Web, I see other people with the same problem, but no real solution.
I do have an active "Visual Studio Ultimate with MSDN" subscription and $150 of unexpired credits.
I must be missing something very fundamental.
Seems to be known issue:
A number of users have experienced “Provisioning Failed” errors when
attempting to deploy Windows Azure Websites. This is a known issue
with the trial version, and there is an active discussion thread on
the MSDN forums here.
It is expected that this is a temporary problem that will be fixed
soon, in the meantime there are a few things you can try: Ensure
database passwords do not contain special characters like ', ", =,
etc. Try creating a website without a database, database creation may
be causing the error. Try deploying the site in a few hours, it may be
a temporary problem in the data center.
So, to put some closure on this, I contacted Microsoft Support and they suggested trying to login to the portal through an anomymous/incognito browser session. Once I did that, I was able to create a website.
Mind you, having cleared all persistent data (cookies, etc.) in the regular browser, I still cannot do anything in Azure, from several different machines. But at least the incognito session is a workable workaround.

add SSRS pool to SharePoint - few issues

i know this is gonna be a Little akward because the Image i am gonna post is in German,
but essentialy what i am trying to do, is create a Service Pool for Reporting Services,
now it is Very important that i am able to check the last Checkbox so my PowerPivot is gonna work, but i don't know what it is that's making it impossible for me to do so, anybody have any Ideas ?
NOTE: the message sais: There are no Webaplications associated with this SQL Server Reporting Services-Service Application available
Your Help is as always well Appreciated!
Fixed it, by removing the existing Association beetween the SSRS Service with the Web App,
apparently you can only associate one SSRS Service per Time

SharePoint Infrastructure Update Authentication Issues

I've got a SharePoint MOSS 2007 development setup on to which I installed the WSS infrastructure update. Now, whenever I try to access any site collection in my SharePoint farm using IE7 I get a username and password prompt. I enter valid credentials for my Site Collection admin account and I see the box again. This happens three times then after the third time I just see a blank page.
When I access the system through FireFox 3.0 I get the username and password screen but after putting the credentials in the first time, the site runs as normal.
I presume this is because IE is using NTLM whereas Firefox is using basic authentication, but I'm not sure how to resolve the issue.
Has anyone else experienced this or can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance

I've found the answer to this now. It was all to do with this issue...
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896861
Before the infrastructure update just entering the FQDN (e.g. intranet.domain.local) for BackConnectionHostNames entry in Method one worked fine. After the infrastructure update I added just the hostname (e.g. intranet) to the BackConnectionHostNames entry and this fixed the issue! :-)
I had to turn off IE ESC to get this to stop. For some reason, it worked on all servers except one in our farm. Who knows. Hope this helps you get started.
