    Please go to File – Options and settings – Data source settings – Global Permissions as Eno1978 said to check if there is any cached connection, but not Recent Sources.

     

    I just installed SQL Anyway 17 and tried to get data in latest PBI Desktop. I can get the authentication screen if there is no cached connection as below.

I updated the Power BI to the August update. SAP has updated their SQL Anywhere 16 to SQL Anywhere 17. now I try to connect to SQL Anywhere 17 just like I did in the case of SQL Anywhere 16.

 

This is where the UI needs a fix.

 

It comes up with the following screen:
