"pbix can't be opened. Either the file is encrypted or corrupted." on PBI Desktop

Hello,

My pbix file worked fine all day when I made multiple updates. When I tried to open it at the end of the day I got this message: "...pbix can't be opened. Either the file is encrypted or corrupted." I have the latest PBI Desktop version: 2.108.997.0 64-bit (August 2022).

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks,

Mat

Hi @PijushRoy 

The resource is very helpful. I tried them but the issue was not resolved.

I plan to restart from the latest copy of the pbix file and redo a whole day work😥. I will keep you posted.

Thank you!
