Stop auto upgrade Power BI desktop

Hi,

I don't find the answer so that's why I send this question following this topic : https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Is-there-any-option-to-disable-the-Auto-Update-option/td-p/75607

and this one : https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Is-there-any-option-to-disable-the-Auto-Update-option/td-p/75607

I installed Power BI Desktop from Microsoft Store on my laptop, and it upgrade monthly automatically without my approval.

How can I stop the auto upgrade monthly ?

The update notifications is disabled and I cannot enable it :

Thank you,

Regards,

Lovebo

Hi Lovebo01,

The Power BI updates automatically because you are using it through Microsoft Store.

If you don't use it through Microsoft store and manually download the file from Microsoft's website, then install it on your machine, then it won't be updated monthly by default.

See the following article on this:

Thanks,
