Dataflows Missing as "Get Data" Option
When I attempt to connect to a dataflow it is missing from the list of options under "Get Data" in Power BI Desktop. I have used dataflows successfully for over a year until this issue popped up last week. I can still connect to existing dataflows without issue, I just can't pick them as a new datasource.
When I click on "Get Data" and search for "Dataflows" this is what I see:
In the "Get Data" dropdown menu there is a link for "Dataflows" but when I click on it nothing happens.
This is happening in the most recent July 2023 version of Power BI Desktop. I have restarted and re-logged in and the issue persists. When I log into the Power BI service I see my dataflows and can use them on the service without issue.

MicahDF , I able to see in latest version. Please reinstall and try. Make sure there no windows updates pending
amitchandak, thank you for the suggestion. I made sure I had no Windows updates pending, I uninstalled Power BI Desktop, and reinstalled the latest version. Unfortunately the situation persists and I still don't see Dataflows as an option:
This issue started after resolving another issue where Power BI Desktop would not successfully log in with my Microsoft 365 credentials. As part of resolving that issue I deleted all of the cache files on my computer before reinstalling Power BI Desktop. I don't know if that has anything to do with this issue or if the timing is just coincidental.
