I’ve been happily using PowerBI on Windows 11 with BigQuery for several weeks. After an update of Windows 11 today, I’m now getting this error:
Unable to Connect:
Details: "The 'Driver' property with value '{Simba Google BigQuery ODBC Driver}'
doesn't correspond to an installed ODBC driver."
What gives?
I’ve reinstalled PowerBI and Windows 11, and I still have the same problem.
I’ve tried installing the Google Driver by hand from https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/odbc-jdbc-drivers
No joy :(.
Has anyone here experienced this before? Is it a local issue, or is it a new global issue with the recent Windows 11 update?
Thanks.

I looked into the forum that @Gisela linked, and they mentioned that you need to uninstall PowerBI and then reinstall it from the website (not the Microsoft store). You can download it here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=58494
It solved the problem for me, so I would definitely give it a try!

I am getting a similar Simba error trying to connect to Snowflake datasource
DataSource.MissingClientLibrary: The 'Driver' property with value '{Simba Snowflake ODBC Driver}' doesn't correspond to an installed ODBC driver.
I know its not google but this feels more widespread than just google.
