Power BI Desktop startup problem in Windows

Dear Friends,

 

I have major problem with Power BI Desktop from last three days. Really i fight very hard with this issue , but i didn't find the solution yet.

 

Problem :

               The Power BI din't open it will closed without any error promt. How i can find the problem behind this.

 

I read some article and thread in Power BI community and Power BI official website. but that didn't solve my probelm yet.

 

My Action against this Problem :

 

1. Uninstall old file and installed new poer bi both version 32 and 64. (My OS is 64 Bit)

2. I don't have any gateway in my Laptop.

3. Run and Install with Admin also.

 

Really surprise same version and same OS with another lap it is working without any prob how ?

 

 

Note :

 

If i have uninstall and  shutdown the system, the start and install the same software mean it will working fine untill shutdown the system.

 

Suppose i have shutdown the system next time i can't open .

 

Helooooooo microsoft plssssssss help me.

Also, do you have SQL Server and Visual Studio installed? I have seen some reference to this:

I am thinking some sort of SSAS conflict perhaps.

@Greg_Deckler Sorry dude, still am facing the problem.

 

Hello microsoft guys how can i solve the issue it is totally irritating, Productivity loss etc.

Really am hating Power BI because of this issue. Without any error is stop running how can i solve this.

 

If i want to change the OS it is working fine , but that is not gentle ? make sense.
