Power BI desktop won't start

Hi,   I did a massive Windows 10 update last night and now Power BI won't start.  I get the splash screen and then nothing.  No error message, it just doesn't start.   I've tried running as admin...

    Thanks everyone for your help,

     

    The problem seemed to be with the Windows 10 anniversary update, which broke not just Power BI, but also my SQL installation on my laptop.

     

    After trying for a few days to fix everything, I did an OS reinstallation and everything is fine now.

Hi all,

 

I had the same problem and found that I had a program called web companion(from lava soft), when I uninstalled the problems dissapeared.
