After we have it installed, could you please make a video on the first steps how to set up the app? For example default settings worth changing (e.g. disabling Auto DateTime)

[omarkhaled]

wow, I was looking for the ways I could install and update to find the best way.
thanks.

The biggest question I have after watching this is....where did you get that sweet, sweet wallpaper!

Q: was there not a plan as well to include Power BI as part of the office suite and have automatic update ?

[jordanmartinetti]

Q: Last year when I was comparing manual downloads and Microsoft Store there were feature differences. The manual download had more features. Is that still the case today?

Will there be an ARM64 version of PBI Desktop in the future? Would love to see it run native on the new Copilot+ hardware coming.

As a consultant I work for several clients using my computer to start PBI with the runas command (runas /noprofile /netonly /user:<domain>\<user> "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI
Finding the path to the executable is easy when you install the app the old fashion way, but it is more difficult to find the executable when you install with MS Store.
Do you have a preferred way to find the exec when you use MS store?

I do not have a work email.
Any ways to login Power Bi without that?
Please help😅😊

Q: There were multiple Microsoft announcements about PBI Desktop going away. Now it seems like it's not going anywhere. Any idea what the future holds for Desktop?

Q: Hi Adam, a dumb question from me. Do all PBI Desktop versions support PBI Reporting Server? (I design PBI report/dashboard, which is uploaded to PBIRS)

Thanks....
