Missing Connectors
Thanks for the reply from nilendraFabric , please allow me to add some more information:
Hi elia22gr ,
As far as I know, Power BI Desktop downloaded from the official website link does not support automatic updates, and getting an update in Power BI Desktop will only require you to manually go to the official website link and download the latest version again to overwrite the old one.
When the Power BI Desktop Store app is updated, it is pushed down and updates the installed Power BI Desktop apps without any end-user interaction. In addition, it does not require any administrative privileges to perform the update, so downloading Power BI Desktop from the Microsoft Store will automatically update it.
You can try using the msiexec.exe file to create an automatic installation by executing the uninstall/install from the command line:

I knew the same thing about the 2 ways of Power BI Desktop installation. And as it is my work pc and I dont have admin rights to install, I prefered the Microsoft store. Regarding the missing connector, probably has to do with the app locker. I will let to know when the check from the app locker developer ends.
Thank you!
