PowerBI (version 2.112.603.0) freezez on Windows 11 (version 22H2) - powerbi

For the last couple of days I can't launch PowerBI (version 2.112.603.0) as an admin.
I'm on Windows 11 (version 22H2).
As per the doc suggests (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/desktop-error-launching-desktop) I checked the content of the following folders and they're both empty.
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\WebView2\EBWebView\Crashpad\reports
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\WebView2\EBWebViewElevated\Crashpad\reports
What i'm observing is the following :
No error message, no alert, nothing. I tried to reboot the computer, reinstall the windows app, install a previous release (Nov & Oct). Nothing works. The process starts and then freezes.
It was working like a charm a week ago. Any insights on this please ?

SAS Enterprise Guide "Unable to load the children for the item named 'Libraries'" on MacBook M1

I have a problem with SAS Enterprise Guide (EG) on my MacBook M1. I run Windows 11 on the machine using Parallel Desktop.
I got no problem to use the Data Integration (DI) and Forecast Studio (FS), I can work on both tools for my project.
But on EG, when I try to open the Libraries from server, I will get error "Unable to load the children for the item named 'Libraries'".
I search on Google and found below
http://support.sas.com/kb/65/222.html
It basically said that is due to permission on desktop and documents folder. But I can't any where to do the setup.
May I know anyone encounter this problem before and is there any solution?
According to SAS, EG is not support ARM processor. So can't use EG on M1.

IDsObjectPicker fails on the latest Windows 10 updates

I've had some Active Directory "Select Users or Groups" code based on IDsObjectPicker working for years but suddenly it has stopped working on the latest Windows 10 updates. The Select User dialog opens correctly but when clicking "Check names" or "Advanced > Find Now" I get an error (Unspecified error):
The application is a 32 bit C++ MFC based application. If I run it as Administrator it works. I found a C# sample that works but without running as Administrator.
I found an old sample on Code Project that has the same problem:

Any ideas?

Visual Studio 2017 blank project open dialog and hang

I installed 2017 and used it for some time (months). After one of the updates, I started having trouble in the file browser window not navigating to other folders without hanging. I can't navigate or choose a file. the app is hung here. I have left it up for several minutes and it stays hung there. I have to kill it from Task Manager in the current version; in prior versions it hung the system and I had to power off. I saw similar problems posted and a reply that indicated it was reproduced and would be fixed. I starting using VS 2015 again in the meantime. That was a few release ago. I had hopes that the most recent one (now on 15.7.3) might fix it since it was fairly large. It made me have a different issue in the same dialog. Now it is blanked out and only VS 2017 is hung. That's a little better since I don't have to restart my system every time I try to run it. But I really need to move to VS 2017.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have uninstalled and re-installed several times and tried uninstalling and reinstalling the more recent .net versions.
Windows 10 Enterprise, kept current with Windows Update, 32G RAM

Downloading the Watson Studio for desktop (to a Windows 7 machine) from here, and selecting only RStudio, I get the message "There was an error extracting the image. Please try again later." I've made several attempts over 2 days. Any help/advice please on the likely cause/solution?

VC 2015 U3 - ASSERT crashes the application

VS 14.0.25431.01 Update 3
Windows 10 - 10.0.10240 Build 10240
Steps:
Create a new MFC application.
Add ASSERT( 0 ), in CAboutDlg::CAboutDlg, for instance.
Build debug version.
Run without debugging (Ctrl + F5).
Click About -> The program is silently ABORTED
Start debugging (F5)
Click About -> Breakpoint dialog.
Microsoft has closed the bug as "by design": "Based upon review of the information provided, we have resolved this issue as "By Design". We cannot identify anything here that is unexpected behavior."
Works fine with Win7.
I am looking for a workaround.
[EDIT]
I've found that __acrt_get_developer_information_policy() is returning developer_information_policy_none instead of expected developer_information_policy_ui (see common_show_message_box in crtmbox.cpp), but I have no clue on how to change it.
[EDIT] See this link and this one, at Microsoft Connect.
[EDIT] The latest Windows 10 SDK has fixed the problem on my machines. All credit goes to cubee_72 (MS account).
[EDIT] The latest SDK solved the problem for Ctrl+F5, only. If the debugger is present, still the breakpoint dialog, instead of the assert dialog, is displayed.
[EDIT 2017-11-20] MS has deleted my bug reports.
Thank you.
I had the same issue and found out it has been fixed in the latest version of the Windows 10 SDK (version 10.0.15063.0) which can be downloaded from
