@manoplaeli , This only happens when a file is open twice and both are edited. Please open task manager and close all instances of power bi and try again.

 

If needed re install power bi

There is only one process availabe, when I killed it my power bi is closed. I re-open again and it is showing the same problem. I also re-start my computer and it show the same result. I am pretty sure that I am not opening twice the file. What programe would open the power bi file automatically?
