Error: Not a valid win32 app

I just uploaded a table into Power BI, but when I try to apply the changes the following error message appears: "Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: 'The following system error occurred: %1 not a valid win32 app'".
Does anyone not what the problem might be?

Thanks

Hi,

 

I am facing the exact same issue in powerBI desktop.

 

After making any changes in powerBI query editor, when i try to apply those changes i receive the error:

 

failed to save modifications to the server. error returned: 'the following system error occurred: %1 is not a valid win32 application. '.

 

I have re-installed the app multiple times. But still the same error.

@Alchemist
Where are you installing your app from?
I was getting this error because I was installing it from the Microsoft Store. I deleted it and installed it from the link on the Power BI website and that fixed the problem for me.

I hope this helps.
