Hi @matthias_h ,

 

If your Power BI Desktop looks like this, Please try click the down arrow in the upper right corner or double-click the “home”.

Or you can try use the updated ribbon feature. Open the options, click the Preview features and select the updated ribbon. Restart the Power BI Desktop and check the toolbar or ribbon.

Have you tried to reproduce this issue on the latest version of Power BI Desktop which released two weeks ago?

 

If it doesn’t work, could you please show the screenshot to us after removing any confidential information(such as account name)?
