Hi @Anonymous

 

You may try to uninstall PBI Desktop from your computer completely and take a look at this document. There are several minimum requirements listed in it. Please make sure that your computer meets those requirements. Then install the latest version and try to run power bi desktop as an administrator. If it is not your case, you may submit a support ticket.
