How can this issue be tagged as 'Solved'. Changing the display settings is just a workaround.
I work from a stand alone laptop when at home or travelling. 
At the office, I have 2 additional, larger HD screens to work on.
I use different display settings for my laptop monitor and for the 2 larger screens.

Currently, I cannot work with Desktop Power BI from my laptop, as it does not show the canvas properly.

 

Please fix the root cause.
