Hi sgmc1009,

Could you please post the full error message about locale in Windows Event Log? Please follow the instructions in this blog to change locale setting the error message indicates and then check if you can launch  Power BI Desktop successfully.


Thanks,
Lydia Zhang

Is it possible to create a batch file to change locale settings?  I plan to create a scheduled task to run the batch every time Windows loads. That might be a temporary fix.
