Data View, Model View, Minimize, and Close options are missing in the power BI desktop

Hello Everyone,

 

My Power Bi desktop is missing the following

My PC is downgraded from 16 GB ram to 8gb RAM and since then I am facing this issue.

Tried Reinstalling the Power BI Desktop, Restarting the PC several times, changing the page width in view option, changing the page size in format pane but it didn't help.

 

What I am missing here? Appreciate your help. TIA!

which version of Power BI Desktop is this? (Help...About).  Your Visualizations/Filters slice on the right doesn't look healthy either. Should be more like this

@lbendlin It is the latest version. I have updated my RAM to 16 GB and now it works fine.

latest as of yesterday or latest as of today? 🙂

 

Latest version is now Version: 2.85.681.0 64-bit (September 2020)

 

It would be a shame if 8GB is no longer enough to run it though. Yes it will be slower but it should still be supported.

Haha Yes, it is September 2020 update.

You are right at least it should be slow using 8 GB RAM but didn't support the features.

Anyways it was a weird issue that happened and now I am good.
