  1. I click on publish from Power Bi report builder.
  2. I  select my available workspace.
  3. Click on select.
  4. I  click on Open report name” in Power Bi”.

 

We  got this message only if I publish report for  Virtual server.

Hi there

I would suggest chatting to the person who looks after the VM and ask them why this is happening.

I work daily on a VM and do not have any issues opening and using Power BI Deskop
