RE: I want to download a previous version of Power BI Desktop
I need to downgrade to the August version ASAP!! I have put many hours of time and effort creating a usable dashboard for my company. Since upgrading the to the September version, I can't do ANYTHING! I get error after error after error. I have a presentation in a week and if I don't get this working, I'm not going to be able to sell this product to my company.

Since installation of Version: 2.38.4491.282 32-bit (August 2016) Power BI Desktop crashes constantly.
RE: I want to download a previous version of Power BI Desktop
Same problem here - the most recent update has made it almost unusable. Simple things like getting data from an excel workbook is completely broken - the screen freezes and Power BI exits completely without any errors.
Power BI team, can you fix this problem as soon as possible. I cannot send any error logs or a frown because the Power BI desktop application exits without any message whatsoever when getting data from Excel.
It would be nice to get access to the previous version while you sort it out - as you can see many of the comments in here point to similar issues

Hi guys, same problem here. with latest version of power BI desktop. I've had to completely uninstall it and right now, I'm desperate surfing the web trying to find version 2.28 or any other previous version which works correctly. Any update?
RE: I want to download a previous version of Power BI Desktop
Agreed. Bugs introduced in recent versions made us re-think if PowerBI is worth the energy we are putting into it.
Ever heard of regression tests?
RE: I want to download a previous version of Power BI Desktop
I had similar problems (ver 2.37.4464.461). Single table (very simple table) data abstraction stops workning. No solution found. No older more stable version available to download.

2.37.4464.461 is unusable!!!!! Give us access to previous versions.

I had similar problems as soon as I updated to July version. I am not able to export data from the dashboard. It freezes the screen.

Got a new PC and downloaded the latest version. Doesn't open any data sources, or allow me to edit queries. Receive a 'firing' error.
RE: I want to download a previous version of Power BI Desktop
July 2016 update broke Power BI desktop for me. Couldn't connect to any data sources or edit queries without app locking up. Would be nice to download previous so I can continue to work.
