Missing Connectors

Hello elia22gr 

try this:

1. Uninstall the current Power BI Desktop from your new PC.
2. Download and install Power BI Desktop directly from the official Microsoft website https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=58494. This version is more reliable for ensuring all connectors are available.
3. After installation, launch Power BI Desktop and check if the missing connectors are now present
   
   Thanks

Hi  elia22gr ,

As far as I know, Power BI Desktop downloaded from the official website link does not support automatic updates, and getting an update in Power BI Desktop will only require you to manually go to the official website link and download the latest version again to overwrite the old one.

When the Power BI Desktop Store app is updated, it is pushed down and updates the installed Power BI Desktop apps without any end-user interaction. In addition, it does not require any administrative privileges to perform the update, so downloading Power BI Desktop from the Microsoft Store will automatically update it.

You can try using the msiexec.exe file to create an automatic installation by executing the uninstall/install from the command line:

You are missing Azure Databricks in Power BI Desktop , you can try the following steps:

Check if the Azure Databricks connector is missing because the firewall is blocking unallowed domains:

To enable Azure Databricks as a source Go to --> File--> options and settings --> global--> security--> data extentions.

Hi all,

Till now, I have uninstall the app from Microsoft Store and Install the app from official site and didn't work (I tried and the January 2025 & August 2024 versions).

The App Locker checked by the developer and he didn't find any issue. The firewall is clean as in my old work laptop everything is ok. The problem is in my new laptop. 

Is anything from laptop setup that is blocking the connectors? In the CertifiedExtensions folder I have them all (compared old and new laptop and they are identical).

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance,

Eleftheria
