So it’s better to save the link as a favorite if you have to change the Power BI desktop version from time to time.
#POWER BI DESKTOP LATEST VERSION UPDATE#
Microsoft provides at the following link an archive of all releases, including updates, a video about the update and the corresponding setup files since the release in 2015. The solution the update archiveįortunately, there is a solution after all. This may be good for end users, but as soon as you need a specific version, it is a disadvantage.

Unfortunately, this approach no longer works, as the links now all point to the latest release. In the past I used to google for the wanted release article in the Power BI Blog and then download the file there. Why the download from the Power BI Blog does not work As a result, the completed work may not even be accessible to the customer. As a developer this can become a problem, because the PBIX files are generally not backward compatible to older Power BI versions.

atin, if you have installed using Microsoft Store. I looked at some of the comments and not been able to get a clear explanation on how this is done.

For me, it is a great convenience to have the Power BI desktop updated to the latest version automatically. I am currently having to reinstall the desktop version in order to get new updates. The main difference is that the Microsoft Store version has automatic updates, and the MS Download Center version does not update automatically. When you often work in different IT environments, you can easily reach the point where a customer is working with a different Power BI desktop version than the latest one. Now you have seen two different downloading Power BI desktop forms.
