File recovery
That hurts. Normal Office applications have the autosave functionality. You could try going that route and see if you get lucky, but I don't see anything that indicates Power BI has this feature yet.
I do see other people wanting to see autosave become a feature though. You can add votes to the idea. I think I'll do the same. Autosave is one of those things you don't think about until you lose work without it.
Yupp, it is a painful "lesson learnt" moment.
As I was not able to find any kind of solution and I have reconstructed my old dashboard by now I will mark your reply as a solution so that eventual visitor vote for the idea as well.
Auto recovered file by default with this new update will save in the following location for a Windows 10 machine:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\AutoRecovery
Hi,
Thanks for the hint. You saved me quite a lot of time. I already started buidling the report again).

Encountered a likewise problem, and the solution above wasn't the solution. Luckily, after following this (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47440276/where-to-find-pbix-file-after-server-shut-down-unexpectedly) post, I could find a auto-recovered version.
Hope this helps any people who encounter the same problem.
