I have never managed to get an update notification with Power BI Desktop. Currently, I'm on 2.97.921.0 (64-bit) and see that there is a newer version 2.98.683.0 on https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/dow...

As far as I know, several prominent issues of the new version have been reported internally. The reason might be to avoid unstable production. You may keep an eye on future releases.
