    Good afternoon!
    The way I found to solve this, there are two options:

    Note: In my case, whenever I upgrade the Power BI Desjtop version, this type of connection is intermittent !!!

    1. Reinstall (AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe)

    If no...
    1. Uninstall / Install Power BI
    2. Reinstall (AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe)

    In my case it has worked perfectly when the error occurs !!!

     

    Hope this helps!!!
