Hello,
I am running Windows 11 insider and after every other update of the OS, some of my PAD flows stop working: the "Launch new Microsoft Edge" action systematically throughs the exception detailed below.
I have had the issue a couple times and updating or reinstalling PAD sorted things out, but with my actual configuration this workaround is not working at all.
Details:
Windows 11 version: 21H2 build 22000.348
Edge version: 96.0.1054.41
PAD version: 2.14.217.21314
Error details:
