Hi All

Please Assist - I cannot seem to log into Power Automate Desktop with my Work Microsoft Account. It is the only one I use and have not had any such an issue with any other app. I only get a blank screen when I expect to enter my password / credentials

Hi @Jacobus_Toua ,

Can you check the following:

1) Restart and retry
2) Minimal requirements here for PAD are met.
2) Uninstall and reinstall latest version here
3) Anti virus on system or company firewall/proxy blocking it?
4) An environment with a database

Path:"C:\Users\usersystem name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power Automate Desktop\msalcache.bin3"

Hi @Jacobus_Toua

Were you able to use PAD before or is it first use?
Check the logs at "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Power Automate Desktop\Logs", it might give you a hint of what is blocking you from login. Be prepared to go through a ton of files though.

Any update on this issue? I am experiencing the same as well. I've moved the server to an OU with a GPO block. This presents the login screen, but creates other issues. Now it's down to hunting which GPO and setting is the culprit.

Hi All, update. Issue has been sorted with significant pain. I updated to windows 11 (although i experienced the problem in Windows 10 already). In short - problem is unfixable in Win11 in its current form as it has discontinued Windows explorer. To fix the issue I had to format and revert back to 10, thereafter reset Internet Explorer setting to default - as below screen (bottom left corner).
