Power BI Desktop Won't Start - Event ID 1000, Faulting Module sysfer.dll & ntdll.dll

Anonymous does it work on other machines in your org since they probably all have Symantec running? Can you test it on another machine?

I should have thought of doing that. I'm in my own little group and didn't think about the fact that there are hundreds of others out there at my org! 🙂

For what it's worth, here's the fix they found:

-Run CMD as admin  

-Do a gpupdate/force to update all group policy’s  

-Uninstall Power BI Desktop

- Delete the Power BI desktop folder under user profile C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Desktop\ 

-Download and installed power BI 64bit for desktops from below link

- Edit the application properties to run as an administrator  (Right click icon, properties, compatibility tab)

-Reboot the system then test power BI.
