Dataflows not available in Get Data

Thanks for your help, but I think I have this one solved. 

For anyone else who may be reading along, or one days finds this thread - what turned out to be the issue here for me was; 

There is a Programs Files folder 

C:\Users\USERNAME\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop Store App\CertifiedExtensions

on my new laptop, this was completely empty. On my old laptop, this had 112 .pxq files, one of which was "PowerPlatformDataflows.pqx"

I copied all the files from this folder on my old laptop and pasted them into the empty folder on the new laptop, closed Power BI, rebooted the computer and now everything works as normal. 

Why this folder remained empty throughout multiple uninstall/reinstalls and roll backs to previous versions, I cant answer. I dont know why this was the case. But once I copied everything over - BOOM - back in business. 

Hopefully this helps someone else in the future. 

Thanks again to rajendraongole1 & Anonymous  for their help up to this point.
