How to fix this 500 internal server error ? Various blogs suggest clearing cache and updating Power BI tool. Have updated Power BI Desktop to latest version, but no luck.

A temporary solution would be to disable the flag for out of blink CORS at chrome://flags/#out-of-blink-cors and relaunch Chrome. The Power BI team should be looking at this nonetheless.
