Hi  @Ciano ,

You can try uninstall the current version of Power BI Desktop and try to test previous version of Power BI Desktop (March version or eariler)

Hi  @Ciano ,

If you have used April 2022 version(2.104.702.0), you can try to disable 'Power BI Desktop infrastucture update' feature in options to check this issue again.

In addition, you can uninstall the current version of Power BI Desktop and try to test previous version of Power BI Desktop (March version or eariler) and disable this feature as well.
