Power BI Service Monthly Automatic Upgrade Cadence Control
Hi dludw0969
Updates to the Power BI service (Cloud based service) are done by Microsoft, usually around the 15th of each month. You cannot opt-out of the update, and there is no overall controll about when these updates are applied. However there are many features that are controlled via Administrator switches and options, so a local Power BI Administrator can withhold some of these updates where Microsoft has provided the facility to do so. Power BI Desktop software is similarly updated once a month, but it is down to the local IT Admin whether they update their PC's/Laptops. However it is advised not to get too far out of step between the Desktop software and the Service.
the update roadmap provides more detail of what is coming and what can be enabled/disabled by local Admins.
Hope this helps
