Send Keys continute after flow is done running

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

On the Power automate desktop. I have created a flow to open one excel file, save it to a xlxs, and then it is supposed to make the window larger via keys, and refresh the workbook with Ctrl, Alt, F5.

 

After the flow is stopped, the send keys continue to send over and over. I've tried closing all power automate from Task manager, but it still continues. The only way to stop the keys from being sent is to sign out of my computer or restart the computer.

I've changed it from foreground to instance.

 

After it is stopped and continues running in the background and the time I select something, it sends the key still and the mouse shows the spinning wheel for a second.
