Cannot Start Power BI desktop 64 or 32 bit
Problem fixed with Power BI version 2.63.3277.0 from the windows store!
Microsoft EmployeeHi alex_t_led,
Have you tried to uninstall and re-install Power BI desktop for a test?
What is your data source connected in this .pbix file? What operation cased such an error? Does this error occur in all PBIX files?
Regards,
Yuliana Gu
I have tried uninstalling and installing both 32 and 64 and Windows store app.
I have read and tried the folowing with no luck

It used to work and all of the sudden stoped.
A post said that this issue was fixed in the Augest releas
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-august-2018-feature-summary/
and i tried downloading that releas but didn work either.
I also have had the same problem since the Windows 10 October Update 1809. Was working perfectly before the update. I've tried 32 and 64 bit .msi installs and also the Microsoft Store version. All have the identical problem. Also tried opening "as adminstrator". Help please ! (I'll log it with MS also)
An update from Microsoft on my support ticket...
"once the Windows get upgraded to the latest version, the CefSharp.Core get automatically get deleted from the registry. You need to contact your IT department to get the file fixed on your latest Windows updated version. Please provide this error message to your IT department so that they should be aware about the issue!!"
