    Hi D_M_2,
    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum. After thoroughly reviewing the details you provided, consider the below points:

    • Since this update is a duplicate, you can safely skip the 3/14/2025 release as it offers no new changes.
    • Monitor for a new update with a distinct version number by checking the "About" section in Power BI Desktop or the Microsoft Download Center.
    • I strongly suggest reporting this duplication issue to Microsoft Support directly, referencing the duplicated Version 2.140.1577.0 and the publication dates (3/14/2025 and 3/19/2025). You can do this via the official Power BI support channels or feedback forum, which will help ensure the team addresses this error promptly.

    I’ve checked for more recent updates, and the latest available version as of April 2025 (per the Power BI Blog) does not list a version number beyond 2.140.1577.0

     

    If this information is helpful, please “Accept as solution” and give a "kudos" to assist other community members in resolving similar issues more efficiently.
    Thank you.

Hi v-ssriganesh,

 

Thanks for your response. As the download link is constantly updated, this error is now redundant, but please be advised the PBI blog reference is really just a 'snapshot' of the latest version, and should not be considered definitive. For example: at the time of writing, the official May 'release' is yet to happen, so according to the PBI blog the latest 'April' version is still as shown in the following screenshot:

 

However, if you navigate to the download link, a newer, more recent version is available:


Your point is well taken though regarding escalation in future, so I'll take a different route when reporting, if I notice a similar anomaly going forward. Thanks for your help!
