Failed to save modifications to the server in Power BI

Question

Can someone help me with the error: Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: 'The following system error occurred: Class not registered '. I am getting this while loading the excel/csv. I tried uninstalling the application quite many times but no luck, I still see the same issue

Answer 1

Can you please share the source from where you downloaded the Power BI?

If you have downloaded from Microsoft windows store, try uninstalling it and then reinstall Power BI with installer instead of Microsoft Store version from the official website.

Download the version of Power BI Desktop that matches the architecture (x86 or x64) of your Windows OS. Run the MSI installer and follow the setup steps.

Microsoft Power BI Desktop is available for 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) platforms.

Thanks!
