How To Disable "collaborate and share" pop up Screen On Startup

[metit]

Hello,

We are installing PowerBI Desktop verson 2.88.702 in our Enterprise environment. We want to minimize the user experience so that they don't sign up for an account. On every opening of the software we get a sign in screen "collaborate and share" pop up.

I have tried setting the ShowLeadGenDialog to 0 as suggested on many other forums but that did not work.

Please advise.

Hi @v-easonf-msft ,

It appears I cannot submit a support request to the support team unless I have a PowerBI pro suscription.

I am waiting for my organization to provide a pro license so I can submit it.

Once I have an answer I will definitely post it here.

Best,

Edgard

Hi, @metit 

For your current needs, you can open a support ticket with MSFT to seek technical support , usually they will have better suggestions.

Hi @v-easonf-msft,

Thanks for the references, I have already tried the registry item "valueName: ShowLeadGenDialog" several times but it did not work.

The second link proposes a similar registry modification which I have also tried but did not work.

The last link is for the windows store version again, and this does not apply to my version of PowerBI desktop

I already tried any solution that can be found with a google search. I was wondering by posting on this forum to get any additional insight that I may have missed.

Best,

Edgard

Hello @amitchandak 

Thanks so much for looking into this. The version of PowerBI we are using is different from the one you are showing. You are showing the version from the Microsoft Store. We are using PowerBI desktop from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=58494

Here's the screenshot from the window I am referring to:

We need to be able to disable this screen for all users of the machine without user interaction, so with a GPO or registry key change or something else you would recommend?

Hi Anique,

No, we weren't able to apply it using a GPO. So users just need to close it every time they log in.

@metit , not clear. If you are talking about this screen, then you have and option in the screen to disable it
