Hi  @epereira ,

 

The error message “Cannot read properties of null (reading ‘visualContainers’)” suggests that the program is trying to access a property of an object that hasn’t been initialized. 

If the issue persists, you might want to consider uninstalling and then reinstalling Power BI Desktop.

 

Best regards.
