There's a known issue with Power BI August release, you can reinstall the previous months version from the link below.

Keep the link below, it's handy to have.

Hi @Anonymous ,

It's impossible to install multiple production versions of "desktop app" in the same computer. You can install them in different computers or virtual machines.

However, In Windows 10, you can use 2 different versions of Power BI in the following way: 

1. Install Power BI from the store, this will update automatically (depends on your update settings too). This will always provide the latest version of Power BI. Make sure you choose Power BI Desktop in store(there is a mobile app too in store).

2. Then you can install the production version manually, receiving it from here: Link
