Hi @Wtazz82 ,

 

1. Please check past solution:

Get Data from Folder cannot browse other folder - Microsoft Power BI Community

 

2. Try using this command to repair your system.

sfc /scannow

Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files - Microsoft Support

 

3. You can paste the folder path directly into the input box.

 

Best Regards,
