Power BI
Needs VotesMake Desktop available through Microsoft Update (for versions of Windows before Windows 10)

In September 2017 we announced that Power BI Desktop is available through the Windows Store, giving automatic updates: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-at-ignite-2017-announcing-enterprise-ready-capabilities-for-establishing-data-culture-at-scale/
If you're not able to update to Windows 10, vote for this idea so that Power BI Desktop can be made available through Microsoft Update to older versions of Windows.

PowerBI is a standard MSoft product and std. software deployment and configuration manager update process should apply.

Our company also has the windows store locked, and its very time consuming every month to make a case to have our desktop team install it manually. Please make it auto update.

The fact that Auto-Update does not exist through the application is insane. Power BI should be updated through windows update or by pressing an update button inside the application.

our company has locked out the windows store so we need a way to auto update without the store, we are running windows 10.

Yes, we need this option. Please make this a higher priority.

How is this not already a thing.. come on.

Automatic updates need to be enabled through Windows Updates. To try and keep track and manually go to each machine and install an update is very demanding on a Helpdesk, especially having to coordinate with the end users to set aside some time from there busy day for someone to either remote in or stop by and install the update.

We block the Windows store. We have around 20 Power BI users and deploying updates through Windows Update would be a much better solution for us.

Automatic Updates from Windows or Microsoft Update Services would ease customers to have the latest version on their desktop.
Since PowerBI will be integrated in Excel and Office updates came from this canal, at least in the past, why not put PowerBI in it?

It such a waste of time that everyone has to duplicate what we do to deploy a program that has updates every month, and can effect how it works if it's not up to date. Please give us an automated option.
