PBI Desktop August/September 2018: crash on startup

After updating to either the August or September 2018 version, PBI Desktop crashes to desktop at startup. Tried to re-install numerous times without any luck. Reverting to June 2018 solves this issue (haven't tried with the July update). 

 

Any help and/or suggestions appreciated.

@henrikj,

I am unable to reproduce this issue on my side. Do you get the above error when opening a existing PBIX file or a blank PBIX file? Does your table contain any PBIOrderConnector records?

Regards,
Lydia

I get the error regardless of how I open PBI Desktop, even when I open a blank file (clicking on the PBI Desktop icon).

I am unable to reproduce this issue. I would recommend you create a support ticket in Power BI support site.
