@Dtstraten,

Please uninstall the current Power BI Desktop and re-install the latest version of Power BI Desktop(2.52.4921.581), then check if you can import custom visual.

Hi Lydia

 

I have now run into the same issue once again. I have tried to install it again but without any luck. 

@Dtstraten

Download the December update of Power BI Desktop and check if the issue occurs.

I have another laptop and with that one I don't get any issues,. So I don't know what the issue is unfortunately.

@Dtstraten,

I can import custom visual to the November update of Power BI Desktop by selecting “Import from Store” or “Import from file”.

In your scenario, are you able to use “Import from file” method to import custom visual?
