Prompted for Office365 Credentials each time I open PowerBI Desktop after upgrade

[asbpowerbi]

Hello,

I am running PowerBI desktop on a MS server. I recently upgraded to version Version: 2.117.984.0 64-bit (May 2023). After the upgrade, each time I open PowerBI, I am prompted to log in; even when I am on the same remote session. Its like each time I close powerBI, it does a sign off, rather than a close. Any ideas why this is happening? It does not occur in any of my other MS applications (Office, Power Automate, etc).

Cheers!

Peter

I just downloaded the May update and the same thing is happening to me. Version: 2.117.984.0 64-bit (May 2023)

Did you find a solution? I have not found one yet.

We went back to the prior release and it is working now.

Hi,

  Thank you for the comment. The entry was added but did nothing. I am still prompted each time PowerBI starts. Any other suggestions?

Hi asbpowerbi,

According to the below documentation, administrators can use the following registry key to disable the sign-in form. This can also be pushed out using global policies to the entire organization.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/admin/desktop-admin-sign-in-form

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop
valueName: ShowLeadGenDialog

A value of 0 will disable the dialog.

Appreciate a Kudos! ‌‌
