Hi @analytics,

 

It sounds like your account not valid or not have enough permission to operate power bi folder. I guess you are test with power bi desktop store version, right?

 

In addition, you can also take a look at following link about same issue:

"The specified user does not have a valid profile" error on apps downloaded from Microsoft Store
