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.

voting this up as enterprise that has no windows 10 store and uses sccm to push soft to client machines, need and automatic way to update this desktop app within the app itself.
This should have been done to begin with since Enterprise tool sets are almost always updated like this...

Voting for Windows Update. Enterprise apps require enterprise deployment tools. would it help if I say "please"?

Seriously! The enterprise does not run on Windows Store! SCCM, WSUS and Co-Management...but not Windows Store! Come on Microsoft, hurry up with this.

Please add PowerBI to windows update

This is by definition an enterprise product, SCCM and WSUS is your enterprise deployment system - I do not understand why I even have to vote or request this in 2018. This software has been out for a while now there is no excuse - get it done. The admin overhead this causes is huge - we should not have to make a piece of software unmanaged and/or give users local admin, esp with a product FROM MICROSOFT.

Another vote! We've invested heavily in SCCM for deployment and patching, please include PowerBI!

Please have this as a Windows Update so as an end user I can use the latest version and don't need to go to IT every month

Please include Power BI Desktop updates via Windows Update so we can deploy via our normal process in SCCM
