    Re: not running PA

    Hi,

    managed to get PAD working again! Hope the below helps. I stopped all PA services so I could delete most of the Program Files (x86)\Power Automate Desktop folder. Below are the steps that worked for me.

     

    1. Uninstall Power Automate Desktop
    2. Close all browsers.
    3. Go to Start > Services. Stop PA services (Microsoft Power Automate agent launcher service, Microsoft Power Automate service, Microsoft Power Automate update service)
    4. Delete AppData (C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power Automate Desktop)
    5. Delete all you can from PAD folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Power Automate Desktop). I deleted all except 12 files that were being used by Power Automate log shipper service which I could not stop.
    6. Restart your PC
    7. Download the newest PAD version (currently 2.27.177.22340) and install

    Hi, having the same issue. This was during the update to version 2.24.179.22266. I tried to uninstall / reinstall with the actual version, delete the cache from AppData but still no luck. Can anyone help, please?
