Desktop does not show icons for visual imported from AppSource

Hello, when I import a visual from AppSource, the icon does not appear in the toolbox and therefore I am unable to use the visual.

After clicking "Get more visuals" and choosing one in the AppSource dialog, I get a messagebox saying "The visual was successfully imported". However, there is no icon for this newly imported visual. 

 

I have the latest Power BI Desktop app installed from the Microsoft Store October 2021. I am creating a new report from sample data. A coworker has the same issue on their machine.

    Hi,

    Unfortunately, I can’t reproduce the same issue as yours.

    I can successfully import the same custom visual as yours and see the visual icon in the right:

     

    Therefore, I suggest you to update to the latest version of the Power BI desktop and check if this problem can disappear.

    Hi Robert, thank you for looking into this. I have uninstalled the Microsoft Store version, and then installed the latest version from the link you provided. I still see the same issue. Perhaps it has something to do with my user account?
