Hi Guys,
For the last day I've been unable to open Power BI Desktop.
I get the following error when I attempt to open
If I click OK then the Power BI Desktop doesn't respond to anything. I have to force close the application.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled, no change. Tried both the x64 and x86 versions, exactly the same behaviour.
I am using the latest version - 2.119.986.0
I have seen a similar post but there was no real suggestion as to what resolved the problem apart from a Windows Update, but I have done all updates that I can.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I cannot use the Desktop at the moment, only the web version.
Thanks,
Matt.
