Issue is fixed indeed by MS, you can use the store version again. See also this topic:

I had the same issue yesterday. I updated from the microsoft store just now and it's working again, so I think the fix is issued.

I uninstalled Power BI, then reinstalled via the advanced download options on the website.  Do not download from the microsoft store!  I read somewhere else that wouldn't fix it.

I am also experiencing the same error. I checked and still have the August Version: 2.132.1053.0 64-bit (August 2024).

I edited permissions to sign in again to the BigQuery account and it's still not working.

Having the same problem with Snowflake..

Same, just tried to load data into PowerBI from a snowflake source Ive used dozens of times and I am getting 

DataSource.MissingClientLibrary: The 'Driver' property with value '{Simba Snowflake ODBC Driver}' doesn't correspond to an installed ODBC driver.

I experienced this issue today with a Snowflake DQ connection, although my version appeared to already be rolled back to August. Re-downloaded PBI Desktop and re-installed, and connections are now operational again.

 

I just tried this, this did not fix my issue with Snowflake. Same simba error

I think the issue is inside the Microsoft Store version. I uninstalled that and installed the standalone version - now it appears to be working

See https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/Power-BI-Desktop-Version-Issue/m-p/4156622 - appearently a version was released by accident and rolled back

I am experiencing the same issue. Was able to refresh all queries yesterday but now I get the issue mentioned above. Have there been any updates?
