Desktop will not displayed Advanced Editor in Query

All of a sudden, I can no longer get to the Advanced Editor of queries in Power BI Desktop. The window for the advanced editor opens and appears in my task bar but all attempts to actually reach that window to interact with it are ignored. I have done a Repair on Desktop. I have also uninstalled, rebooted, and reinstalled. The problem persists. Anyone else encounter this?

  • I haven't heard that reported before. Not exactly sure of the cause. One thing you may be able to try is to uninstall Power BI Desktop, and the delete the following folder. Then reinstall and see if that helps.

     

    C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop

     

    It will get re-created. You may loose some settings by doing that though.
