Sign in required for every new instance

I am asked to sign in everytime I opne a new instance of Power BI, even if there is an instance open that I have already signed in on. 

 

This started happening since last week and is quite a nuissance when having to open multiple files at once. 

 

Any solution or suggestion would be appreciated.
