Double-clicking a .pbit opens Power BI Desktop to the new Home screen instead of the report

[nicg]

Launching Power BI Desktop by double-clicking a .pbit file in Windows Explorer opens to the new "Home" screen and there's no obvious way to get out of it.

Can be worked around by clicking Open > Browse, which dismisses the Home screen, then just cancel the browse dialog.

Hi  @nicg ,

This is a new UI modification, when you double click on the Pbit file, click New on the Home page to get to your pbit file normally.

Best regards.

Great, thank you. Personally, I think the experience would be better if .pbit didn't trigger the Home screen at all, but at least it's easy to get past.
