Splash screen change

Hello,

I noticed that when I installed the June update (2.36.4434.381 32-bit 32 bit version), that the disable the splash screen option on the splash screen has been removed. 

I'm curious to know if anyone else has this problem on either the 32 or 64 bit version and if so if there a work around.
I looked on the Options dialog box, but did not see an option to disable the splash screen.

Thank you
Tracy

    Hi Tracy, you should see the "Show this page on startup" checkbox if you are signed in. See the screenshot below.

    Hi elz,

     

    I have installed a new Power BI Desktop (2.36.4434.381 32-bit 32 bit version), when I run the Power BI Desktop, the option "Show this page on startup" is checked by default if I already signed in with my Power BI service account. And we can uncheck this option to make this page never display when we open Power BI Desktop. If we want to get this page back, we can click the Getting Started option.

     

     

     

    Besides, based on my test, both 32-bit and 64-bit Power BI Desktop 2.36.4434.381 versions contain the Getting Started page and have option "Show this page on startup" when we first run the Power BI Desktop after we install it.

     

    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

     

    Best Regards,
    Qiuyun Yu

      hi Qiuyun,
      i do not have a power bi service account. i don't understand why this wasn't an issue in the prior version, but is in this version? it seems that the option is removed for those that don't have a log on account

        Hi elz,

         

        You can sign up a power BI free account, then sign in the account in Power BI Desktop to see "Show this page on startup" option in current Power BI Desktop version. Please refer to this article: Self-service sign up for Power BI.
