Desktop Flow Triggered from Cloud in Power Automate Run Error

Hello Team,

I have a weird problem that I started facing after updating to Power Automate new desktop version 2.17.169.22042 yesterday.

My work flow gets triggered from the cloud to perform excel file processing on my desktop PC.

I have created the work flow using the desktop recorder inside power automate.

The desktop workflow works fine flawlessly when I run it from the desktop manually but when the cloud triggers the work flow to start, it stops at a certain task of deleting some columns in the excel file, the error is "Select Menu Option is not found".

I tried different methods to bypass this error with no luck, the desktop flow has no issues, the issue happens if the cloud triggers the work flow to run ONLY.

{

"error": {

"code": "UIAutomation.SelectMenuOptionError",

"message": "Problem while executing action 'SelectMenuOption'. Failed to select option (option wasn't found)"

}

I did have this issue one time before I did the last power automate desktop update , back then, I had changed the way to delete the columns using the desktop recorder inside power automate and it worked. This time, no luck unfortunately.

Any ideas or suggestions to try please?
