Symptom

Reproducing the Issue

1. Open BI Launchpad

2. Right click on a file

3. Select "View"

- The Analysis for Office report is launched automatically

Resolution

If using Google Chrome Browser, go to:

Settings > Downloads > Enable option: "Ask where to save each file before downloading"

If using Microsoft Edge browser go to:
