    After several attempts I finally found a solution. 

     

    I upgraded Win8 to Win8.1 and did all 139 updates which had to be done on top of it. After rebooting the system Power BI Desktop was able to load and I didn't get any message anymore concerning CefSharp.Core.dll.

    - Use Win8.1 and not Win8

    - Be sure all Win8.1 updates have been installed

Yes I did download that version but it's not working with me.

 

In a meanwhile the second pop-up disappeared, it seems that system error has been solved:

 

Another system error (msmsdrv.exe) pop up appears as well with the message:

"The program could not be started because api-ms-win-crt-studio-l1-1-0.dll is missing on your computer ...."

 

Nevertheless the 'CefSharp.Core.dll' is still there.
