Random visuals being added automatically

Hello all,

 

This is a simple annoyance but still one. Recently (probably after last update of Power BI desktop), the visulazation pane gets filled with visuals I never asked for. Even after deleting them, they get populated again.

This is very annoying because the lower part of the pane becomes small and unusable.

 

I'm I missing something? Anyone encountered this issue? any solution?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hey @walidm

Have you tried this option?

 

hello @Dhairya , thanks for the reply,

Unfortunetaely I did try that before and it does not work.

When PBI is started the pane looks like this:

and few seconds after it is populated like this:

Restauring defaults does not have any effect.

Thanks,

Hey @walidm 
I'm using the same version as yours, I'm not facing any such issue. Can you please try reinstalling it after uninstalling it?

hello @Dhairya ,
Thanks for the idea. I did uninstall and reinstall and unfortunately same result. Later on, I will try to install a previous version and update here.
