I'm encountering the same issue.

Following the November update, I get the following error on launch (e.g. opening the Power BI application from a shortcut, rather than opening a pbix/pbit/pbip file). The issue also occurs when loading a new (blank) report from the menu actions 'File' > 'New'.

In my case - the error message initially wasnt being displayed until the 'Startup' screen had been displayed. However, there doesnt appear to be a link to the 'startup' screen, as the issue still persists after disabling it from showing from at startup.

Same here but it seems that there are no issues in PBI dekstop after ignoring this message...

Hi @BettinaEK ,

I didn't reproduce your issue.

Please try clear Power BI Desktop cache: Clearing the cache can help resolve issues related to corrupted or outdated files.

To clear the cache, follow these steps: - Close Power BI Desktop. - Press Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog box. - Type "%localappdata%\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop" and press Enter. - Delete all the files and folders in the folder that opens. - Restart Power BI Desktop and check if the issue persists.

Disable third-party add-ins: Sometimes, third-party add-ins can cause conflicts with Power BI Desktop. To check if this is the case, disable any third-party add-ins you have installed and see if the issue is resolved. You can disable add-ins by going to File > Options and settings > Options > Preview features.

Repair Power BI Desktop: If the issue persists, you can try repairing the Power BI Desktop installation.

To do this, follow these steps: - Close Power BI Desktop. - Press Windows Key + X and select "Apps and Features" from the menu. - Locate Power BI Desktop in the list of installed apps and click on it. - Click on the "Advanced options" link. - In the new window, click on the "Repair" button. - Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the repair process. - Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.

Best regards.

Thanks @Tiemen - glad to know it's not just me / my organisation!

BettinaEK · ‎11-21-2023

Thanks @v-xiaoyan-msft Caitlyn,

Clearing the cache: that worked a charm ... the old fixes are the best 😄

I had assumed that a clean reinstall would claear the cashe, but clearly not!

Now I need to review all my settings before I forget 😉

Thank you for your swift response and fix.
