PowerBI Desktop Crashes released Jan 29 2016 crashing

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

Ok, uninstalled the new version.  Re-booted (just in case) and downloaded new version again and installed.  Still crashing!

Decided to go back to prevous version (I had saved the file) and am able to open PowerBI with no issues.

Maybe I will just wait until it decides to auto update.

    Can you elaborate on "crashing"? Did it give you any error messages? Did it just quit without anything? Does it crash when you open a file or when you just run the exe?

      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.
