Enable to open Power BI Desktop after installation

Hi yall,

 

I am trying to open my newly installed Power BI Desktop but it doesn't work. I have already tried to uninstall and re-install the application multiple times but the same error message saying that "We weren't able to create an empty database in this model" appears every time when I try to open it. Can anyone help fix this problem?

 

Many thanks.
