Can't find saved project

[Sbow]

I just started working with with PowerBI and had a few queryies that I changed and saved. My computer ended up having to update (windows 10). Now PowerBI isn't loading up with my recent project. If I click on File, the recent list is empty. Where does it save these files?

Hi @Sbow,

There is no official articles that state how Power BI Desktop handles recent items list internally and where it stores these recently used PBIX files. However, based on my test, all the PBIX files that show in Power BI Desktop recent items are contained in this path: %AppData% \Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent.

I can open any recently used PBIX files from this location: %AppData% \Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent. And when I open a new PBIX files in Power BI Desktop, the file is added to this folder(%AppData% \Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent) as well as in Power BI Desktop recent items list.

After you update your Windows 10, please check if recently used PBIX files exist in the path %AppData% \Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent and  when you directly open PBIX file from its location, please check if the PBIX file shows in the recent items list.

Thanks,
