Unexpected Error when opening a specific pbix file I was just working in.

Hello everyone. I was working on a report using Power BI Desktop, I saved the report, published it to Power BI Service, noticed something that had to be changed, and tried to open the very same report again in Power Bi Desktop, but it crashes with an unexpected error. I tried opening other pbix files and they work fine. 

 

Any help would greatly be appreciated. 

 

The error message is this: 

Feedback Type:
