Query Editor missing in August 2020 Update (2.84.461.0)

I just updated from Power BI Desktop Version: December 2018 2.65.5313.841 64-bit 

to Power BI Desktop Version: August 2020 Update (2.84.461.0)

and I don't see query editor anymore. What am I missing or doing wrong?

It is in the Transform Data button. A lot  has changed since Dec 2018. You should keep relatively up to date. 2-3 months old isn't huge, but 2 years is not good at all. You can run into compatibility issues with the service or gateways.

By the way, the current version is as pictured below. Yours is a few weeks old and there have been minor bug fixes since then.

I suspected it was something that should be obvious. But I am a light user so it wasn't obvious to me. Even though I am a light user, I love this tool. You rock! Thanks for unsticking me 🙂

Glad to help @LeoFlo
