Power BI desktop Version: 2.85.681.0 64-bit (september 2020) cannot connect to SQL server

Since last update to Version: 2.85.681.0 64-bit (september 2020)

100% fail rate connecting to other than your local SQL server instance.



Details: "Microsoft SQL: A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: HTTP Provider, error: 0 - )"

This happens

  • With encryption
  • Without encryption

Microsoft hides older versions as last one becomes available so you have to get them from someone who saved it.

I have the 64 bit version. Contact me if you need it.
