Power BI Desktop does not update
Hi, I am trying to update my Power BI Desktop. When I click on Update available I am taken to the Microsoft store where I can open my installed Power BI Desktop and I get the latest version. However when I open up a report by doubleclicking it or start PBID from my start menue, it opens the older version again. How can I update PBID on my desktop???
Hello SIH007 ,
you download the latest version from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=58494
that's how it gets updated.
Hi SIH007 ,
You can try setting the default version:
Tap on any pbix file, right-click on it and select Properties, under the General tab, look for Open with, click Change, and then select the new version of Power BI Desktop.
If the above method does not work, try to uninstall the Power BI Desktop program completely, and download the latest Power BI Desktop from the official link given by Super User.
