Power BI Desktop - Unable to use Get Data
The root cause turns out to have been the presence of an unrelated file in the root of my C drive. I renamed the file I had called "Program", did a repair on Power BI desktop just to be sure, and then everything is working fine. It took a little longer than I would have liked but the MS Power BI team is definitely looking at the feedback they receive through the "send a frown" process.

TigerDawg,
Where did u see this program file? I do not have any program file that i know of and have windows 7 enterprise 64 bit
Priyab,
The file with no extension, not a folder/directory, was right on the root of C, so C:\Program. I have no idea how it was created but removing it allowed Power BI to work normally.
