Any ideas why this happened and how it can be fixed? I have tried today to install desktop power bi again and follow the repair wizard but this did not work.
Power BI doesn't seem to be very stable. There is always something failing time after time which is a little frustrating as it holds up my work.
Try to disable File > Options and settings > Options > CURRENT FILE > Data Load > Allow data preview to download in the background.
issue remains
If auto recovery doesn't work as well, you could create a support ticket.
