What is the month/year of that version? Hard to tell, is that August 2019?

 

Updates tend to be automatic if you installed from the Windows App Store. If you installed the MSI it generally prompts you.

Hi Greg

 

thanks for your feedback.

I installed it from my company office 365 page, version is October 2019.

No updates prompt so far, I miss a lot of new beautiful things!

 

Please help me to solve.

 

Thanks

So, is there any solution or should I only wait and hope?

Difficult to say. Do you see UPDATE AVAILABLE (CLICK TO DOWNLOAD) in the lower right of the screen when in the Desktop? 

Otherwise, you can always download the latest from here:

Or the Windows App Store.

 

But, your organization may have group policies or something that prevents updating.

I don't have that option on my screen.

If I download latest version, should I disinstall old one first? In such a case, would I lose my built reports/connections?

 

Thanks
