Power BI Update in Company Laptop

[Anonymous]

Hi, I downloaded power bi from Microsoft Store. Now it is not getting updated to latest version of july. It has stopped on March 2020 version. How do i update it to latest version in my Office Laptop. There is no option to uninstall and Reinstall Power bi. What should i tell my IT department about how will it update?

Hi @Anonymous ,

You could open control panel-->Programs-->Programs and Featuresand to uninstall Power BI. Then install it from Microsoft Store.

You could also download an exe version from official link:

This was the best solution Thank you. Even if you don't have administrator rights you can uninstall power bi by searchin it in windows search and right click on power bi icon. After this i downloaded exe file and asked my IT admin to install it which solved my problem.

For microsoft store if windows update is blocked by IT admin then power bi cannot be downloaded from there.

Thank you

@Anonymous not sure what kind of IT policies you have, if you go to microsoft store, you can update it or IT can manually download it and install it, preference is always Microsoft Store.

I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped. 👉 If you can spend time posting the question, you can also make efforts to give Kudos whoever helped to solve your problem. It is a token of appreciation!
