I am having two issues that are basically making my whole data estate and data visualization processes within PowerBI completely inoperable.
#1 - Anytime I try to open a PBIX I am met with the following error:
"We weren't able to restore the saved database to the model".
ExecuteXmla failed with result

# 2 -Anytime I try to create a new PBIX and add data sources, I run into the following error:
Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: 'The following system error occurred: Class not registered
'.
This issue occurs with flat files, workbooks, SQL server, Cosmos, ADLS2, no matter what I can't do anything. I've updated my laptop, reinstalled Power BI Desktop, reinstalled all the MS DB Drivers (OLE, ODB) and nothing works.
