POWER BI Registration page
Dear Community,
I purchased a new notebook and installed the Power BI, as the previous one. However, this new installation began to behave differently from the old one. The program when you start, displays a page with the title "Welcome to Power BI Desktop", with fields to be filled, if you do not have a registered account, and with the option to enter, if you already have a registered account. Only after that is the usual entry page appears.
I have no company account to register, because I am retired and study the Power BI for pleasure, as a complement to Excel, which I am passionate.
I would like to know how to make this homepage of "Welcome" is no longer displayed, because in the previous notebook it did not happen.
Grateful for any help.

Hi Morato,
Fortunately, we have a good way to disable the dialog by using a key in windows registry. You could hav a reference in this article How administrators can manage the Power BI Desktop sign-in form.
Please note that you 'd better make a backup before modifying the registry.
I have tested this way by creating a new key Power BI Desktop under the path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft and set the value to be 0.
After you have modified the regedit , you 'd better restart your device then you open Power BI Desktop, the welcome page will not display.
Best Regards,
Cherry

Hi Morato
Here is the help page in your language : https://docs.microsoft.com/pt-pt/power-bi/service-self-service-signup-for-power-bi
Hope this helps
Dear Quentin_vigne,
On the quoted page the statement is clear:
What do you need to sign up for?
To sign up for Power BI, you need a professional email address. A personal email address will not work to register with Power BI.I don't have a professional email address only personal.
That is why I asked for help in opening up the Power BI Desktop program, no longer applying for this application, which was not required before.
I'm still waiting for some help.
Grateful

Hi Morato,
To make this homepage of "Welcome" is no longer displayed, you could click the 'Close' icon on top right corner for each Page.
Actually, we could use Power BI Desktop without sign in. However, if you want to sign in Power BI Service, you need to have an account.
Best Regards,
Cherry
