Something went wrong: Could not load file or assembly microsoft.web.webview2.core

[wbracken]

Yesterday I got this same error after upgrading to the latest version of Power BI Desktop (from MS download, not MS Store).  I completely uninstalled and reinstalled Power BI Desktop and everything started working again.

Today, the error is back.  I reproduce it by select in this case a new Data source for Microsoft Graph Secutiry Connector.  As soon as I click the "sign in" buttton for the Organizational account that error is thrown.  Below are details it prompted me to copy here.

Anyone have any ideas?  Want to avoid reinstalling PBI Desktop as a resolution. 🙂

Thank you sir.  For what it's worth, uinstalling and reinstalling did again correct the issue (assuming temporarily).  Looking forward to a fix!
