    Hi Ikerka,

    Great question, I was running into the same issue [Note: The following directions are for Windows 11 and may require administrator privileges]. To resolve this, the link I provided below has Microsoft replying with the download to the October Power BI Desktop version. During the process of installing it, which will be the installation file in the downloads folder, you will get to the following pop-up window:

     

    At this point, you will want to rename this file location to make it easier to locate the shortcut.

    Then towards the end of the installation you will want to check both boxes for "Create a Windows Shortcut" and "Launch the Power BI Desktop". Now for the fun part, when you go to your windows start menu and look at all applications, scroll down to location "Power BI Desktop" you will notice that there are two. However, one will have "New" next to it, this is the October verison (In my example, I already renamed it but it serves as a reference point).

     

    You will want to right-click, go to more, and open file location.

    The file path is C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Power BI Desktop, which shows as below:

    This is were renaming the shortcut will help identify the different verisons of Power BI Desktop. To rename the shortcut, right-click on the file and select "Rename".

    Now you can copy the shortcut and paste to your windows desktop and tell the difference between the verisons.

    For further verification, please open the "Power BI Desktop_Oct" verison, click the "Help" tab, and then the "About" tab. The pop-up window will display the following:

     

    Please let me know if this helps and enjoy the day!
