All pbit files have stopped working

When I try to open pbit files, it says that it cant connect to the model. It doesnt work with the feb or march update, havent backtracked it further. Also, users downloading those pbit files from my website are getting the same error. :(

 

Here is an example file that is not working: gofile.me/2kEOD/Mc81aYdOS

     Already contacted you on twitter and got confirmation it might be a bug.

    Hi ruthpozuelo,

     

    I have tested with your pbit file, we can import the pbit file with Power BI 2.53.4954.621 64-bit (December 2017), but get the same error as you. I have also tested with other pbit files which exported from desktop March or December, they also can be imported to desktop March version fine.

     

    In your scenario, please import this pbit file to Power BI desktop December version then export to pbit file again. Then import this new pbit file to desktop March version. 

     

    Best Regards,
    Qiuyun Yu

    Hi, 

    If I create new Pbit files I get the same error. It cant be that! 

    Also, I cant open pbit created by others. Something is wrong with my installation.

     

    I can open it with other computers but not with my main one.

    Other users are experiencing the same.

     

    If It helps, I am not able to use the power bi install from the microsoft store. I get the same error.
