Hi , sloth

In Power BI Desktop , there is no way to disable the login form. You can configure the Login form to your web browser in "File-Options and Settings - Options" :

hmm, yeha but i wamt it to not open at all.

Also, this isnt really practical since these setting for whatever reason unbeknowenst to any reasonable beeing gets written into a ZIP File of all things.

  Hi , sloth
  
  I've consulted the documentation and you can see if the following documents can help you:
  
  How admins can manage the Power BI Desktop sign-in form - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
  
  You can try to update the regedit in the computer by following this document. (shortcut key: Win+R and then open the window,enter: regedit)

    no they can not help me. and ive allready said so in the Original Post.
    
    ShowLeadGenDialog
    
    IS for the signup form, not the login form for the MS account.
    
    Also the question still stands. How to manager preferences in a corporate environment? I cant find ADMX or any other kind of management capability.
