Downgrade power automate desktop

Posted on by ditoiuc 23

I just installed the newest version (11 sept 2023) and a flow that has been working well for a week got **bleep**faced. It cannot recognize elements on an external app. The app has not been maintained for over 8 years so..It can only be power automate desktop. The recorder works twice as slow as before, so..yeah, i would need the old version back . 

Is there somewhere a link with all the power automate desktop versions so i can downgrade ? I would expect a company as respecable as MS to have a way to download any version you like..


 Wasted 8hours trying to click an element that worked until i made the eror of updating PAD .

    They do make the downloads publicly available, but I heard that if you report an issue to MS support and ask for an installer for a previous version, they can actually provide you with it.

    Strange. I come from the opensource zone (Linux) where for 0 money you can download whatever version of Linux distro you want from 10 years ago,  whatever python version you want, whatever ...whatever . 

    As a paying customer of MSFT i find it very odd  to have to contact support to request a url for a previous version of a software. But it is what it is, i'll contact support . Thank you Agnius.
