Research direction

The report names no files, tests, or entry points and leaves the system, Visual Studio, and Model Builder versions blank. Start by obtaining those details and a reproducible sequence for the MicrosoftMLModelBuilderAutoML activation error; done means identifying the cause and confirming that loading the text-classification data completes without the service failure.
