Can't run 2 flows at once

Before the update I could have multiple desktop flows running at one time. Now I can only start one at a time. Was this part of the update? Is there something I need to fix?

    I'd like to know as well. I hope it's just a bug because being limited to a single flow at a time is super limiting. I saw no mention of it in the update notes. And, again, I think this sort of thing proves why we need clear and detailed update/patch notes so we can be aware of every change. It feels really weird to have to discover these things.

    Does anyone know how we can find out about this? I'd like to know whether it is intended or not.

    One post from @Pstork1 which points to a MSFT link related to the topic. Don't know if it explains it sufficiently.

    Thanks! That's what I needed. I assumed it was intentional, but I just wanted confirmation before I start saying that on videos. It makes perfect sense. It's unfortunate to lose the ability to run multiple flows at once because there are plenty of use cases for why two at once is not only useful but necessary.

     

    It would be nice if the limitation were removed for paying users though. If I can pay and run two flows at once on the same desktop, I think I'd pay right meow. 😃

    This is especially rough coming from the Winautomation platform. Processes that have been in place just stopped working and now need to be restructured somehow. Big loss for the winautomation users.
