One day recently my PowerBI Desktop started to crash when started. It would display the splash screen but then close down. Only error in Event Viewer:
The description for Event ID 0 from source MSOLAP$AnalysisServicesWorkspace821859503 cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
It had been working fine and then stopped. I am not sure if it was a Windows 10 Update or PowerBI Update that has caused this. The only thing I have changed on my desktop since it worked last was that I had installed Visual Studio 15 and SSDT. I even tried installing an older version of Power BI but that made no difference.
Any help is greatly appreciated. This unexplained issue is not helping my case in trying to replace a competitor product with Power BI.
