Optimized Desktop software URL broken?

Trying to download the May 2024 Optimized Desktop software, and the link is broken.  Getting an "Internal Error" message.  I'm trying to use the "Advanced Download Options" link from this URL:  Power BI Report Server | Microsoft Power BI

which points to:  https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2275719&clcid=0x409&culture=en-us&country=us

Also tried this link:  https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=106034

Hi, @ajluu88 

For information about Optimized Desktop software, I've only found this one at the moment

Download Microsoft Power BI Desktop (Optimized for Power BI Report Server - May 2024) from Official ...

 

When you click Download, he will let you choose to download for Power BI Desktop RS

This one worked.  I could not find this link through Google, ChatGPT, Microsoft Downloads nor this forum until now.  All the others either took me to the Report Server, Jan 2024 or May 2023.

 

THANK YOU!!

Hi, @ajluu88 

I'm currently able to open your link normally

This could be due to server-side issues, such as temporary network issues or server overload.

Clear your browser cache and cookies, and sometimes, this will solve the problem. Since this seems to be a server-side issue, it may be temporary and may be resolved soon.

These are taking me to the Report Server software.  Does anyone have a link to the OPTIMIZED Desktop download?
