    Thanks to MS PBI Support we were able to find a solution, which I'd like to share here.

     

    Cause

    The CEF component (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_Embedded_Framework) created this issue

     

    Solution

    1. Uninstall PBI Desktop
    2. Delete the “CEF” folders in %LOCALAPPDATA% i.e. in Windows 7 (replace “USERNAME” with your windows account)
      1. C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local
      2. C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop
    3. Restart Computer (just to be sure)
    4. Install latest version of PBI Desktop

     

    This works for me so far – hope it helps you, too, in case you experience the same issue.

     

    Still thanks to vanessafvg for the ideas and help!
