Automatic Refresh Option Missing

[vincetaylor]

Hi Please see the images below. The Automatic Refresh option is missing and I cannot enable it under Preview Features because it is missing from there too. How can I enable automatic refresh?

Hi  @vincetaylor  ,

Whether the version of Power BI Desktop is the latest version. It can be used normally with the latest version on the computer. Which connection mode are you using? If the connection mode is import, the report does not have an automatic page refresh option. You must click the refresh button or reload the tab, if the connection mode is For DirectQuery, you can enable automatic page refresh.
