Frequent crashes on microsoft.flow.rpa.notifier.exe

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 7

Within our company we see over 2k crashes on microsoft.flow.rpa.notifier.exe in the last 30 days.. 

 

It's causing slow boot times and a fix would be to remove microsoft.flow.rpa.notifier.exe or to remove it from startup, however we're not certain what this .exe is used for.

 

Does anyone know what it does?

    This .exe is used to throw the pop-up notification when a flow starts or ends. If it crashes but your flows still run fine, this should indicate that you don't really need it to run your flows. It's usually not really all that useful anyway, especially on VMs with unattended flows. It's actually only useful for people who launch the flows manually via the PAD console.
