Wondering if only me, but just downloaded the latest Power BI desktop and it crashes without being to open anything.Anyone else having this issue?TIA

Sorry just saw this, it was crashing when running the .exe file. I would like to give Minh Pham, Ashley Jones (and the team behind both) for doing their best to help me out with the issue. Seems something was amiss in the registry, so I did a complete re-install of WIn10 and now things are running as they should.

pqian Unfortunately no, the problem remains whether I run as Administrator, or regular user. I have also tried several combinations of compatibility mode with no change. Always fails the same way.

I have same problem with you. Are you fixed it?

I'm having the same issue after updating Windows 10 today. The event data and XML from event viewer is below. It appears to be CefSharp.BrowserSubProcess.exe that's at fault as has been found before in this thread. I don't get any error dialogue or options to debug. I just get the splash screen then it quits without an error message. I have tried re-installing PBI and uninstalling the updates both with no joy.

Peterhof I downloaded the new desktop from the PBI Service and have no issues.
