There was an update implemented for all SF tenants in October which would enable certain flags for People Analytics. Due to some inconsistencies in the model, it was never triggered for the affected instance.

If you encounter the same scenario in your tenant, please reach out to the support team. Then we will reach out to the Engineering team to enable the necessary flags for the affected instance which will resolve the issue.

If we see a 'Pop-ups blocked:' window in the browser, then as a work-around we can click on 'Always allow pop ups and redirects to:' and 'Done' in the browser pop up, however it will only solve the issue temporarily.

Note: This KBA is only for scenario where there is a pop-up showing up in the browser along with the error message.
