Does anyone know where the Desktop settings are saved? We are working to make sure they persist on a virtual desktop session and need to know the location. We are assuming somewhere in AppData/Roaming or AppData/Local but we weren't sure.
Thanks,
James
Solved! Go to Solution.
There is a zip file within AppData
e,g,
C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\User.zip
It contains a folder and file
UserInterface\Settings.xml
How do I disable this, when you have Pbix files from other organizations with Sharepoint you always need to delete the folder users to re-connect to the Share Point! FGS!!!

No problem.
Slight word of warning. Ensure you don't lock the zip, I had it open with 7-zip and powerbi freaked out a bit as it could access it.
