Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Power BI with PBIVIZ files
If, despite the installed application, the PBIVIZ file does not start in the Microsoft Power BI application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Power BI to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Power BI program, it is possible that Microsoft Power BI Visual Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PBIVIZ file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PBIVIZ file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PBIVIZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PBIVIZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PBIVIZ file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PBIVIZ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the PBIVIZ file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the PBIVIZ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
