Microsof Access Runtime 2016 EOL october 14 2025 and Power BI Report Server installation

[ssce]

Microsoft Office 2016, including Access Runtime, has reached its end of support on October 14, 2025 however installing Power BI Report server including version September 2025 includes / installs the runtime.

This is potentially a security issue later down the road. Are you planning to mitigate this issue with including a different runtime in newer versions of Power BI Report Server installation?
