To avoid interruptions, we recommend installing WebView2 now and turning on the preview feature as discussed in the July feature summary in Power BI Desktop. We will start requiring WebView2 in the January release of Power BI Desktop for Power BI Report Server and in the February release of Power BI Desktop. It also means that you’ll automatically get the latest security patches as the WebView2 team ships them instead of waiting for us to update Power BI Desktop. We’re making this switch to better optimize our development and release process (which means we’ll be able to spend more time developing new features!). As mentioned in the June and July feature summaries, we are switching a vital component of Power BI from CefSharp to WebView2.
