Just want to share my experience here. Since I work in a coorporation everytime that I had to update Power BI I had to get admin rights, so I looked this issue up and someone here in the community recommended to download Power BI though Microsoft Store, so I did that so I didnt have to ask for admin rights, since then I started having problems connecting to Oracle Database, so this morning I decide to install Power BI through the web, and guess what, the problem went away. Dont ask me why, but this solve my problem.
