Unable to open document
No matter what PBIX file, I try to open, I get the error. I even get it in a newly created file, whit only a dummy table.
I've seen the error after I installed MS Office. Have tried to reinstall Power Bi Desktop. What else can I do?

Hi,
here we go:
December 2019 Version Download
The previous version helped me to avoid this tricky problem. 🙂
Was struggling 2 hours yesterday solving this.

Hi ,
The version has only been updated in the past few days and it may not be stable.
If the new version can't work normally, it is recommended to roll back to the December version .

Thanks. Can you give some advice on how to perform a roll back. It seems only the latest version is available for download? And how is automatic installation of new releases disabled?

On my PC I have two user accounts.
User 1 is an Office 365 account, which I use to login to Windows (not azure ad joined) and login to Power Bi.
User 2 is a live account, which used to login to Windows. I use the same account as user 1 to login to Power Bi.
It's only user 1 which isn't able to open Power Bi files. user 2 is working.

I encountered this before from a sample pbix I downloaded from the internet. I copied the file to a location with a shorter path (My Documents) then reopened it. The trick worked.
