Open multiple instances of Power BI Desktop App (same computer and user account)

Is it possible to open four distinct instances of the Power BI App using the same computer and user account?

 

In summary, I have four monitors being controlled by the same computer and would like to dynamically present distinct applications.

 

Obs: It's out of the question to open the pbix files using distinct instances of Power Bi Desktop.

Hi @v-yanjiang-msft,

 

Thanks for the reply.

However, I meant "Power BI" and not "Power BI Desktop".

As stated in my question, I don't want to open fours pbix using "Power Bi Desktop" because I would like to present the reports dynamically.
