I would like to ask for your assistance. I created a flow in Power Automate Desktop in which one of the steps is to access Copilot 365 Web, focus on the tab where Copilot is open, click the “New chat” button, wait for the text field to appear, type the prompt by sending physical keystrokes (it's the only way Copilot accepts an automatic Prompt), and then press the “Send” button.
This flow is executed on a Virtual Machine accessed via Remote Desktop on Windows 11.
After starting the flow, I minimize the Remote Desktop application and continue working on my local machine.
Everything works perfectly on my notebook.
However, the exact same flow is executed by a teammate who has exactly the same notebook model and exactly the same access to the Virtual Machine via Windows 11 Remote Desktop. We both use Microsoft Edge.
PROBLEM
The issue is that when he minimizes or closes the Remote Desktop session, the flow stops working and throws an error. In my case, the flow continues running normally in the background, successfully finding all selectors and performing the actions.
We have already checked the Remote Desktop settings, the power settings on both the notebook and the Virtual Machine, and his browser settings in Edge.
We were unable to find any differences.
Could anyone provide insights into why this issue might be happening?
