Hi,

I can't open the Power BI Desktop version, as I consistently receive an error message every time I attempt to open it. Can anyone help me fix this issue?

Thanks

Hi  @randika118 ,

This error might be related to some corrupted files in the AppData folder.

Here’s a potential fix for this issue:

1.Navigate to the directory on your computer, where is your username.C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local{user}
2.Find and delete the AppData folder for Power BI (either 64-Bit or 32-Bit, depending on your installation).
3.Relaunch Power BI Desktop.
