Can't get Desktop Update

Everytime I open Power BI desktop I get this windows notification

If I click on it it takes me to the general Power BI download page, which then sends me to the Microsoft store, which then gives me no download option, just a open button for the version I have.  I've tried searching here for help, but I'm finding broken links and conflicting advice.

 

I really don't even care about the update, I just want to make the notification go away.

 

Thanks!

      It is a work device, but I'm able to install things.  Also, I'm not getting error messages, just automatic redirects.

        share your error that might give a hint of why isnt letting you update. cant think of any other issue tham a work configuration from your company denying the app the permit to update.

      Haven't been able to. I am our IT admin and I've had other IT folks double check me, so I feel confident it's not a workplace configuration issue - or at least, not one that is well known or apparent.  But nothing I do allows me to upgrade to the new Power BI versions.  I have to wait until Power BI forces an update.
