Hello,

I had a flow that was working on the prior version of power automate desktop. This morning I updated to the latest version, and one of my flows seems to not be workings.

I have a flow that looks for a specific file to be dropped every day in a folder.

This folder location also acts as a historical record, so I have changed the flow to adapt to look for todays date in the file naming scheme.

Ever since I updated to 2.26.139.22312 it seems that this flow is not noticing that the file is in the folder.

I have double checked the file name, and there are no spaces or anything that is different.

See video attached below.

Any insight or suggestions would be most appreciated.

UPDATE,

I have discovered that after the update for some reason my PAD is unable to access any of my network drives, and only has access to my own C drive.

Weird.

Anybody have any similar issues?

Hi @mcnemare1

I have checked the video.

I will recommend to use the full network path notation in place of the drive letter F:

The one that you used to map the F: drive

UPDATE-
So after restarting my PC this morning, the drives came back.

I will be changing file location references to UNC format as suggested by @VJR above.

I did a test run on a few variables in UNC format this morning and it worked.
