Download Update not working

Hello,

a coworker has recently made changes to a report that require an update to view. When I attempt to open the report, I get an error saying that I must update my version to view the report.

 

I have downloaded the most recent version from this link: Download Microsoft Power BI Desktop from Official Microsoft Download Center

 

however, when I open powerBI, it still prompts me to update to the latest version, and when I try to open the report, it gives me the same error I was previously encountering. I have tried restarting my machine and restarting powerBI but neither works.

 

I cannot update through the microsoft store, as my workspace admin priveleges do not allow microsoft store access at all. 

 

Please help! Thank you!

@v-xiaotang Hi, I was actually able to update by running the update from a more recent link. The problem is now solved, thank you and enjoy your day.
