    The studio has been deprecated and all development of powerapps is now web based. If you try to use it for development you will be referred back to the web.If this answers your question please mark it solved.

    hi @Sormick ,

    Here's the link to blog post about this information.

    Quote from blog post......

    Going forward, we’ll be deprecating the authoring capabilities of the PowerApps for Windows. The PowerApps Studio for Windows will still be available to download from the Windows Store and can be used to play apps.  The current studio authoring experience in the desktop app will be deprecated June 1st 2018.
    With a large majority of our users preferring to use the web studio over the legacy PowerApps Studio for Windows, we will be focused on the web studio which allows us to innovate faster and makes sure every maker can always use the latest features.
    Apps that you have already built can be edited in the web studio (https://web.powerapps.com).  If you currently use the Windows desktop authoring experience, try out the web studio, you will be surprised at the performance gains you will see.
