We need to show our Power BI report pages live in our shop and breakroom. We were using the Power BI Windows app but are working on transitioning since it was depreciated. The only replacement that we've identified is the PowerPoint live connection to report pages. This works, however our need is to have the slideshows begin on the display machines' startup of so that no manual input is required. To accomplish this we saved the PowerPoints as slideshows (ppsx). When these slideshows are launched however, they only show a blank screen. The report pages are there, since links can be clicked, but they do not display. Upon investigation they will display if the simple action of showing all slides, then selecting one or exiting, is used. Once a slide is shown after going to all slides, all pages display properly. This doesn't satisfy our needs for the slideshows to be automatic however.
Things that I have tried so far:
Opening the slideshow in safe mode. This does work, however it does not allow the reports to be live.
Disabling the one application add-in that was active with no effect.
Disabling slideshow hardware graphics acceleration with no effect.
Switched slideshow monitor from automatic to primary with no effect.
Run the slideshow on multiple different machines, each had the same issue.
Any assistance is much appreciated.
