Issue with display
Hi Anonymous
It is not clear what results in this strange display.
There are some probabilities and solutions you may try.
1.
Please check if you use the lastest version,
if not, please download the lastest version of Power BI Desktop from this page.
2.
Please check your display settings, please use recommended setting as suggested in this article:
- Display: At least 1440x900 or 1600x900 (16:9) recommended. Lower resolutions such as 1024x768 or 1280x800 are not recommended, as certain controls (such as closing the startup screen) display beyond those resolutions.
- Windows Display settings: If your display settings are set to change the size of text, apps, and other items to more than 100%, you may not be able to see certain dialogs that must be closed or responded to in order to proceed using Power BI Desktop. If you encounter this issue, check your Display settings by going to Settings > System > Display in Windows, and use the slider to return display settings to 100%.

If you are using multiple monitors, Please refer to the workaround in this thread:

In certain circumstances, including certain screen resolution configurations, some users may see Power BI Desktop render content with large black areas. This is generally a result of recent operating system updates that affect how items are rendered, rather than a direct result of how Power BI Desktop presents content. Regardless, large black areas are not as compelling as great visuals, so to address this issue, take the following steps:
- Press the Start key and type the world blurry into the search bar that appears.
- In the dialog that appears, select the option: Let Windows fix apps that are blurry.
- Restart Power BI Desktop.
Best Regards
