Version update
nilesh_amrutkarThis is a real pain - but you can ask your IT team to grant local administrator rights on the machine which could allow just installation of software but other areas may and can be locked down still - such as access to Regedit and Powershell etc. This might all be completely possible even under your group policy settings.
I would venture with proper motivation ( time $aving due to not using their time and additional benefits with each monthly update - your supervisor would be able to give permissions for this)
If your access to the windows store is blocked ( which happens sometimes - even with admin rights on a local machine) you can still download and install the software by bypassing the windows store and choosing advanced download options as in the following steps off the powerbi.com website.
Maybe this helps you until the update process becomes better, but I would hold your breath for that. Rather apply for local admin rights.
