    Hi odedtole ,

     

    Try to downgrade your desktop version to the one released in Feb.

    Here is the link.

     

    Best Regards,
    Kelly

v-kelly-msft Downgrade can't be solution. I tried to downgrade from March version to January without success. And one more time: April version is working under any other user on the same PC.

I assume in my case Power BI stores some path to not accessible external resource and can't reach it. It happens even if I start only application without any workspace.

I tried to find where Power BI stores some cache and tried to clean everything, but it didn't help... Maybe it keeps it in the registry.

Also I tried to analise application dump, but it didn't help as well.
