Desktop Application Bug?? - PBI desktop application left navigation icons always solid black

[slaneyg]

Regardless of desktop appearance selection (dark, legacy, light, system default) the top three icons on the left nav (Report view, Table view and model view) are now rendered solid black.  Has anyone seen this? The icons are functional, just solid black.  Pretty sure this showed up just today; repaired the install to no effect. - Using November 2025 Release.

I am experiencing the same issue. My organization pushed an overnight update on 1/22. I first noticed the issue on 1/23. PBI Version: 2.150.1704.0 64-bit (January 2026) on Windows update 2026-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5074109) (26100.7623).

@marcorusso published an explanation and a workaround:

Obviously the black icons are caused by WebView2 not by Power BI.

This was an external issue and it has been resolved.
