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.
Chrome v76 and later seem to have introduced changes to how it handles CORS, introducing additional headers for security.

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.
