Power Platform Dataflows connector not appearing as part of Get Data

I recently got a new Windows 11 laptop with Power BI Desktop version 2.116.966.0 64-bit (April 2023). The issues I face in this new laptop are

1) I do not get the Power Platform Dataflows connector as part of Get Data and

2) All queries that have steps "Source = PowerPlatform.Dataflows()" are throwing error message - "Expression.Error: The import PowerPlatform.Dataflows matches no exports. Did you miss a module reference?"

 

I do not have these issues in my older laptop (Windows 10 with same PBI version).  In both the laptop, Microsoft Edge is the only internet browser.  Please help, to solve this issue.

Hi,
We have had a similar problem. It was caused by a file missing in the user's Local AppData folder:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\CertifiedExtensions\PowerPlatformDataflows.pqx
We copied the file from another user's computer and it fixed the issue.
