Having trouble downloading PBI desktop to update PBI

[croberts21]

I have Windows Server 2019 with PBI Desktop May 2022 installed on it. 

I go to the PBI download page at https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/desktop/?WT.mc_id=Blog_Desktop_Update

When I click the "Download free" button, Chrome I just get the Chrome about:blank tab, I don't go to any website. 

So where can I download an update to PBI? Is the update/download service having problems today? 

I had the same problems this morning. This morning I tried 4 different URLs to download the update but none of them would let me download a file. I've updated PBI before on this same machine. 

Thank you!

Thanks. IT got this to update for me. I don't know what happened because I've updated PBI before on my own. It's fixed how.

Hi， @croberts21 

Is it a temporary problem? You can try to use other browsers, such as edge.

At present, I can access download page and download desktop normally.

I uploaded the latest version of PowerBI here, you can download it from the link below.

downloading Microsoft Power BI Desktop

Have you tried to update directly from the microsoft store? or using an different browser?

If the problem also happens with other installations, it could be your PC (an antivirus blocking the download for example)
