@Anonymous , Open power bi without a file. Check for the version(File -> About), is it Feb 2021 - then log an issue at https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/idb-p/Issues

 

if not , they try to upgrade to latest version

Hi@Anonymous,

 

Can this PBIX file be opened properly on other machines?
Are you using Power BI Desktop downloaded from MS Store or from the official website? If you downloaded it from the MS Store, we recommend uninstalling it and reinstalling the official version. 

 

Hope it helps.

 

Best Regards,

Caitlyn Yan
