Hi @Anonymous 

There are some minimum requirements to run Power BI Desktop, you can refer this official document Get Power BI Desktop to check the configuration of your PC. Then you can try to run Power BI Desktop as administrator. If it doesn't work, you can refer Get help with other launch issues.

 

Best Regards

@Anonymous , Seem like the issue happened after March 2021 update. Uninstall and reinstall and try.

 

Also, check if some else faced any issue - https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/idb-p/Issues
