When I start PAD, it shows "signing in" and is stuck on that animation. Restarting the machine did not help. Any ideas?

Hi,

Here's some quick options to try:

My preferred option is to open up Task Manager and cancel any running Power Automate services. Make sure to also check running services, not just running Applications. Relaunch.

If that doesn't work, you may have a store version and a direct installed version on your machine which can cause application issues. Uninstall one or both and reinstall. Store version automatically updates (ok for non-production environment work and/or light power automate projects).

This has typically resolved any issues I have had over the last 3 years with launch issues.

A support person did get back to me. It seems the version being downloaded does not have the runtime for whatever reason. Here's a screenshot of the install and one from website showing the runtime should be there. Don't know why the download does not include the runtime. But without it, this app will not run.
