Argentina has no nuclear weapons, and the UK will become an "AGI-State" long before Argentina does. The hard power imbalance is going to be huge within this timeframe. Without a legitimate claim to the islands + taking into account the massive gap in strategic capabilities, it's hard to see what sequence of events would lead to Argentina asserting control over the Falklands before 2040.
Argentinians want the island, but the people who actually live on the island want to stay in the UK, and Argentinians don't have much appetite for military action
