    I have figured out a workaround. If the lab is not loading data from a SQL server, you can download the pbix from git and start working on it. There is an option to open instructions in a new tab on the lab page.

    Try these workarounds for a lab that stays on Loading lab...:

    1. Start the lab again and do not open other browser windows until the lab finishes loading.
    2. Clear the browser history/cache, then try launching the lab again.
    3. Try launching the lab in an Incognito/InPrivate window.
    4. Refresh the page, or close and reopen the browser, then retry.
    5. Check the internet connection and retry the launch.

    If the lab still does not open, this can be a training lab issue rather than a Power BI Desktop issue. In that case, contact the Training Support team through the training support forum.
