Power BI is experiencing a problem with starting WebView2 due to code-integrity issues. This is normally due to anti-virus or some other software on the device interfering with Webview2.
To verify this problem, add WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS to the User environment variables and set the value to "--disable-features=RendererCodeIntegrity" and try running desktop. If it works, then you have a code injection problem. Delete the Environment Variable you have set above and disable any software that might be interfering or provide an exemption for the WebView2 process.
In order to identify what is interfering with WebView2, we would need your help to get some information from your device. If you are willing to help out, please contact us at pbidesktopwebview2issues@service.microsoft.com or reply to this post.
Known softwares which cause code-injection problems in WebView:
- Symantec Endpoint Protection
- PC Matic
- Print Audit
- Palo Alto Traps
For Symantec, please update to version 14.3 or above. This should fix the issue.
