PowerBI Custom Connector with Windows 11 App Store
Hi kevinxbrown ,
You can review the following links and check if they can help you solve the problem.
I've found out what the issue was by myself.
I had my custom connectors in the folder [Documents]\Microsoft Power BI Desktop\Custom Connectorsand PBI desktop saw them without problem.
Once I installed a third-party connector it created a folder without the 'Microsoft' word: [Documents]\Power BI Desktop\Custom Connectors. After that PBI Desktop takes a custom connectors from this folder and ignores my connectors. All I did is copied my connectors into that new folder and now it works well.
To me, looks like a bug as in according to documentation connectors must be placed in the [Documents]\Power BI Desktop\Custom Connectors folder.
Why does PBI desktop get a connectors from other folder?
Custom Connectors path unavailable
Best Regards
