"We weren't able to restore the saved database to the model"

it does not work even I unistall the desktop application and clean the registery "C:\Users\****\AppData\Local\Power BI" and restall it again .

In the february 2020 update thread, somebody shared a link to an older version from december, I have just installed this and it works perfectly for me. Only potential downside is that if you have implemented new features from a later release you might get some errors.

You can find the link here:

thanks a lot 

I download the "Dec" version (actually Nov ?)  and it works now for a temporary solution

I got exactly the same problem, I've also responded in the february 2020 update thread, hopefully somebody can come up with a solution soon!
