Hi, @Anonymous 

You may try to check your Power BI Desktop downloaded by Microsoft Store instead of Power BI official site and update the version to the latest one. Then you can try the following steps:

1. Found a .pbix that would open as expected

2. Opened .pbix archive with 7-zip

3. Right-clicked [Content_Types].xml and selected Edit

4. Selected all text and copied

5. Repeated steps 1-3 on .pbix that wasn't working

6. Selected all text and pasted

7. Save and select to also save in archive if 7-zip prompts you for this

Best Regards

Allan

One other long shot, try copying your PBIX to a ZIP file. Run a ZIP repair tool and then copy back to a PBIX file.
