New Feature

Manual Update for On-premises Data Gateway (Preview)

This new capability simplifies gateway maintenance and helps ensure your environment remains secure and up to date. With this preview, you can now initiate gateway updates manually—either directly from the gateway UI or programmatically through API or script—giving you full control over when and how updates are applied.

The November release serves as the baseline version for this feature, and customers can start performing manual updates beginning in December. This enhancement also paves the way for future support of fully automatic updates.

To learn more, refer to the Update an on-premises data gateway documentation.

Power BI Desktop Compatibility

This update brings the on-premises data gateway up to date with the December 2025 release of Power BI Desktop.

This version of the gateway will ensure that the reports that you publish to the Power BI Service and refresh via the gateway will go through the same query execution logic/run-time as in the December’s version of Power BI Desktop. View the data connectivity section of Power BI’s December 2025 feature summary for updates on relevant connectors.
