Error - Cannot load model

Hello,

 

I have been having trouble when opening PowerBI. When I open even a new file (no data imported) this error occurs. I have tried to reinstall PowerBI and launch it as an administrator. No success.

When try to load just a test excel document the previous error occurs and this load error as well.

But in PowerQuery I can see the data normally.

 

Thanks for help

@Tymok , what is the windows version? Make sure that is supported. Also, make sure there is no pending windows patch

@amitchandak  I am on Windows 10, 21H2, build 19044.1645. Windows Update says I am up to date, apart from installing Windows 11 of course.
