Browser Control Error in Power Automate Desktop Jobs

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

I am experiencing an issue after updating Power Automate Desktop.

I have scheduled Power Automate to run Power Automate Desktop jobs daily.

While the Power Automate Desktop job starts, it fails to control the browser, resulting in an error.

The issue does not occur when executing the job directly from Power Automate Desktop.
The same problem occurs with both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome.
Could you please provide a solution?

Power Automate Desktop Version: 2.50.00183.24303
Microsoft Store Version: 11.2411.209.0

Thank you.

    Hi,
     
    My recommended approach is to uninstall the store version and get the non-store version.  This will resolve this for you.  Remember, the store version will automatically update and you are subject to all the pain and joys of new software versions.  That's why typically it is common to run several versions behind and test thoroughly before upgrading.
