How do I turn off automatic software updates for PBI desktop

[buddyfacility]

Hi, 

I have some kind of IT issue with the June 2023 desktop app, so I uninstalled it and re-installed April 2023 which fixed my problem.

However, I came back after lunch and the problem was back and I saw that June 2023 was installed again! How do I turn off auto updates? Thanks in advance.

Hi @buddyfacility ,

If you download Power BI Desktop from Microsoft Store, it will update automatically. Please download Power BI Desktop from the offical download center (Download Microsoft Power BI Desktop from Official Microsoft Download Center)
