DA-100 Labs not working
I cannot begin the Lab08A https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/modules/visuals-power-bi/8-lab
getting the error "Hmm, something went wrong, Retry launching lab"
I´ve tryed to do the lab in spanish, in english, with Chrome browser, Microsoft Edge browser and also with Internet Explorer and always get the same error and cannot begin the lab.
Then I have tried to do some other labs I did weeks ago and also get the same error but only in some of them.
Anybody is getting the same and can help me?
Thanks!
- We are getting reports that the labs are working again. Go ahead and keep trying and it should resolve soon. For this challenge, you do need to complete within the virtual environment. There are still 7 days left in the challenge and we are actively monitoring this lab issue to make sure it's working for users.
You will need to "Download Lab Files to D:\drive" to reload the data each time you access the lab.
I don't see this option at the start of all lab sessions so you might need to go back to a previous one to load the data and then follow instructions on the NEW lab.
Cheers!

- The labs not working for me either been trying for a week. Does anyone have a work around or a guide on how I can set up the environment on my laptop to practice.?
- Lab is not working sept 24. 2021. Anyone know anything about why and how can I message MS about it?

Microsoft
Hnokhart It's working here. What error are you getting? Perhaps try clearing your cookies, or an incognito browser and see if that helps?
- markjulmar Thank you for response
First....Hmm
Second: Lab access suspended
Third: Your account or connection was flagged for unusual activity. Because of this we've suspended your access to the Learn lab on demand. If you think we've made an error, you can submit an appeal to regain access.
Tried incognito browser, deleted log in Chrome browser. Still not working. ???
- Hi there! I'm having the same problem, Lab - Prepare data in Power BI Desktop ( Lab access suspended). Thank you for your help!
I now have labs working, but can't get to Powerbi.com as requested in lab 11:
Help! I only have 24 hours to get this done!
- Hi claire_save
I didn't get that error but i think clicking in a below link in your snapshot you can allow the browser o navigate in not secure webs.
Regardless that is strange, try with the markjulmar advice. - markjulmar
Hi claire_save --
Where do you see instructions to sign into powerbi.com? I'm not 100% familiar with these labs and didn't see anything about that in lab 11. Can you post the URL of the page?
The above error looks like the original URL wasn't secure. You might try just navigating directly to https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/ -- that's where it resolved for me -- remove the en-us if you're not wanting the English version and it should use your browser language to determine which locale to pull up.
- All I did to fix it was reload the page a few times and it worked.
- allisonkrakerJust heard back from engineering and this should be fixed now. Can you all try and let me know?
allisonkraker Please note that the problem still exist. Is it ok for the labs to be done locally to qualify for the challenge or does Microsoft require us to use the virtual environment that they gave us access to?
Kindly advise. Also is there a resolution timeframe for this issue.
Thanks in advance.

- It works now for me. Thanks!
Still not working here. Same error - "Hmm, something went wrong". I can get a window to open If I click "Retry launching lab" fast enough but nothing happens in that new window.
- I also have a problem with lunching lab.
- I has the same last week - opened previous lab and worked through, but wouldn't let me sign in to Publish or access Data Sets so can't do lab 08A.
How can we get MS to sort this out as time is running out to complete the course...?- allisonkrakerThere was a known issue with labs last week. This should have been fixed. Are you still experiencing issues?
- I am facing this issue, could you please suggest
Hi there,
Same issues here.
Some labs appear to work, some will ask me to do a kpatcha and some just won't launch at all.
Have you had any solution to this?
Thanks
