Error Downloading Power BI Desktop

I have tried to download Power BI Desktop a number of times over the span of a few weeks and received the following error:

 

"Something unexpected happened: Reporting this problem will help us understand it better. You can wait a bit and try again or restart your device. That may help. Code: 0x80073D05"

 

Has anybody had this same issue? Any help would be extremely appreciated!

Hi, I think I had a problem like that with microsoft store. It doesn't work very good with some windows specific versions. Try downloading the msi installer from the site:

Hope this helps,
