Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system.

Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of DAX Studio 2.8.0.

What's new in this version:

New Features:
- Filter Dump Measure: right-clicking a table in the metadata pane can generate a measure that returns a string describing the active filter context in a table or in all the tables. The DAX measure generated should be copied in a Tabular model to display the filter context in a report tooltip for debugging purposes.
- Define All Measures: right-clicking a table in the metadata pane can generate the definition of all the measures defined in a table or in all the tables.
- Parameter UI - if your query contains @parameters you will be prompted for the parameter values
- Auto-Save - if DAX Studio was not shutdown cleanly it will offer to recover the files that were open
- Goto Line - ctrl+G lets you jump to a specified line number
- Updated Data Provider libraries for connecting to Azure AS, PowerBI.com and Power BI Desktop
- Support for Power BI Aggregation events in ServerTimings and AllQueries traces
- Digitally Signed - the installer, Excel Addin and Standalone executable are all now digitally signed
- Option to zoom results grid with query text (useful for when presenting)
- Optimized tracing of Direct Query for newer engine sources (which now support filtering these trace events by session id)
- Added links to dax.guide into function tooltips in code completion window
- Option to set results grid font size
- Added hotkey Ctrl-Shift-N to open a new query with the same connection as the current window

Fixes:
- connecting to PowerPivot models with a single quote characters (') in the file name
- defaulting Find/Replace text from the current selected text in the editor
- added VAR & RETURN to the code completion keywords
- fixed default file format to use UTF-8 (but you an still open both UCS2 or UTF-8 files)
- fix for mis-reported line numbers for errors with DaxFormatter.com
- fix to properly increment file names when exporting multiple resultsets to csv

Numerous stability fixes as a result of reported issues and crash reports including:

- fixed crash when resizing DAX Studio to a very narrow width
- fixed crash when dragging metadata to editor while intellisense window was open
- fixed crash when querying a table with the ^ character in a column name
