Hi LuITS 

Open Power BI Desktop as Admin > Load and refresh a Gen1 Dataflow  > Save the pbix file > Close it > Reopen it as a normal user > Try refreshing again to see if it still fails.

If the issue persists, please reach out to your IT team. Ask them to check: Windows Event Logs for any related errors, Any Group Policy changes related to credential handling or app permissions, Whether any new security rules or tools have been applied recently that might affect non-admin users.

Please try the steps mentioned above. If the issue persists, feel free to reach out here.
Thanks.
