    Ok - This was my solution - I upgraded my Windows 10 to Redstone 4 (1803), the latest and greatest, or so they tell me.  I installed the June 2018 version of Power-BI Desktop and now I'm working again - however, and this may be important to other Administrators, RSAT stopped working, turns out there is a brand new RSAT just for Windows 10 (1803) - WindowsTH-RSAT_WS_1803-x64.msu - Hope this helps others...

Hi amckind4,

 

You could download this tool to detects and tries to fix some frequently occurring issues with the setup of Microsoft .NET Framework or with updates to the Microsoft .NET Framework.

 

If you have fixed the .NET Framework, I suggest you reinstall Power BI Desktop.

 

Best Regards,

Cherry
