Where have you seen the new release? (February 2020?)
It's not on the Blog page for Ferbruary, and releases are included as an entry in the blog page for the relevant month.
I always check here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=58494
It says it was published yesterday, but the version number hasn't changed. I have no idea what is going on.

Hi Anonymous ,
Sorry for our delay in response, If you are still occurred this issue after install the February version of Power BI Desktop, Could you please check the following things?
1- Is it only one machine that has this issue or multiple ones?
2- For the machine that is not working, when did it stop, with which release?
3- I am also suspecting that might be network security blocking the notification request for some reason.
Would they please try this link in the browser https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=524399, this is the actual request sent from the Application to check for a newer version. If this request is successful it should retturna .json file looking like the following. If, they couldn't get successful response, then that should be the issue.
{"release":
{
"x86":[{"key":"ClientExpiryDateTime","value":"2015\/01\/01"},{"key":"ClientExpiryVersion","value":"0.0.0.0"},{"key":"ClientUpdateLocation","value":"https:\/\/go.microsoft.com\/fwlink\/?LinkID=524794"},{"key":"ClientUpdateVersion","value":"2.76.5678.781"},{"key":"PublishFileSizeLimitInMB","value":"1024"},{"key":"ShowLeadGenDialog","value":"1"},{"key":"ImportV2MinFileSizeLimitInMB","value":"1024"},{"key":"PremiumWorkspacePublishFileSizeLimitInMB","value":"10240"}],

}4- Using fiddler, (but you need to enable https request first), after get Fiddler ready, run Power BI Desktop and check in Fiddler if the request I mentioned above in #3 is actually issued from the application or not
