    Hi shzaidi ,

     

    First, please refer to this document to try to resolve the issue.

     

    If it doesn't work, please share us more details, such as:

    • What is the system of your device?

    I found that someone reported such a problem: Power BI Desktop - Error Opening Power BI Desktop June 2020, on Windows 7 64bit.

    If your device system is Windows 7 64bit, it may be the same issue as yours. I'll update in time,

    If not, it is suggested to create a support ticket to get technical support.

     

     

    Best Regards,

    Icey
