Hi @Sofiya9811 ,

Based on the error message provided, it appears that your environment is corrupted and therefore Power BI cannot start from a missing dependency library.
Please try the following tools to repair your software environment:

Download Microsoft .NET Framework Repair Tool from Official Microsoft Download Center [06b3-73d6-465...

Or as @lbendlin  said, you can try uninstalling the existing version and then download and install the latest version of powerbi desktop from here.

Download Microsoft Power BI Desktop from Official Microsoft Download Center

Have you tried completely uninstalling Power BI Desktop and then reinstalling the latest version?
