Cannot open Power BI Desktop
I recently installed the November update and then by the afternoon I started to get the below error whenever I tried to open any PBIX file. I rolled back to the October version and I get the same thing.
Any ideas?

Hi Daviejoe ,
Do you have a 64-bit or 32-bit installation of Power BI Desktop?
Did you install your Desktop from the Window App Store or from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=45331 ?
We recommend that you try uninstalling and reinstalling.Also, please check to see if your firewall is blocking this activity.
If I have not understood your needs correctly, please do not hesitate to inform me.
Hope it helps,

I have the 64 bit and I downloaded it from the link you included.
Very strange.
